Have you gone to your GP? (Your B/F's) and explain what is happening, he may just 'pop in' or may suggest a way to get him seen.

I hope you get him put right soon.

We have different GP's at different surgeries. Last time he saw a doctor was years ago, well before we met, so I don't even think he knows who his GP is TBH! I don't even know what practice he is at, if any. So that makes it all the more difficult.

Maybe you could get him to google his symptoms and see what comes up. Might prompt him to get some help.

Men can be so difficult sometimes,maybe next time he has a severe headache would it be possible to take him to A&E if they make him feel that unwell he shouldn't be in any fit state to argue if not ring the emergency doctor difficult though if you do not know what practice if any he is at maybe your own practice would send someone if you explain it is an emergency.
Only other thing is threaten to call an ambulance if he won't go under his own steam. Do hope things get sorted.

Hi Random please try to get him to see a doctor ASAP.
I know some people are 'Dr phobic' (I am not too keen on them myself).

What would I do in your situation? I would speak to my own doctor/explain the situation/make an appointment.
Then tell your B/F you understand he doesn't like Doctors but it is important he sees one now and you will go with him. He may be cross but better that than leaving what could be a potentially serious condition. (If he refuses to go you can always ring the Drs to tell them).

Sometimes a little help to make the initial decision to see a Doctor is all that is needed. I hope everything will be ok.
