Personally I would go along to A & E with those symptoms, it goes without saying that you shouldn't drive but I do think you should get checked out asap.
 
I agree with noblehead -- play safe and go to A&E. If it's not serious you haven't lost anything (apart from a lot of worrying); if it is serious then you are in the right place to have it dealt with. Good luck!
 
I've had that before and it was a migraine with an aura. Nothing to do with diabetes but very unpleasant at the same time. Would be good to get it checked out. I used to get them with my monthlies.
 
Thanks Sineadk that's a bit if a relief :) although I'm too old for the monthlies it must have been the migraine also on clarythomycin so probably not too much to worry about I Hope lol
 
Anne, have a look at the side effects of Clarithromycin. I'm pretty sure you'll find the symptoms you have on the side effects list. Hope you're better soon :)

It could definitely be the meds but I've had the exact symptoms and it was a migraine with aura that my doctor diagnosed. They are horrible. Sometimes you notice the aura before the head symptoms. If you do take a headache tablet to try and stop it in its tracks.
 
Thank you Geri and yes Sineadk it has been one horrible day that's how everything started only woke up and those white wavy lights in front of my eyes then the rest
