My father has been audibly whimpering in pain for 2 days, he and my mother believe they both have shingles but wont seek medical help atm. He has had shingles before. He displays signs of severe pain and has self medicated with paracetemol and now valium. I am worried.
His complection has turned grey..he recently "fainted" and was taken to hospital by ambulance, he has a stent for a previous heart attack...
He wont seek medical help until tomorrow..should i ignore this and just call for medica
