Should i waste the time of the Doc.You see i feel crap.Now before going to America i was as fit as a butchers dog.It was a wonderful feeling.So two weeks in America and puff,it's all gone west.swollen legs swollen hard ankles.Tired is an understatement.Do something and i am wiped out.A bit light headed sometimes,and then out of the blue,a problem down below.So this saturday we go on a two weeks sort of holiday,travelling around the country seeing family and friends.I am going to see how i feel when i get back.
Should i should i not.

If you don't reel right, its dragged on a bit and you ain't getting any better then go to the doc. That's what we evade pay our taxes for.

Definitely see your Dr asap. Your symptoms could be anything, even heart...and you've had long flights so get a clot ruled out given the leg issues

Make an appointment now, it'll probably be a couple of weeks before you get an appointment.

I former work colleague got bitten by a spider in texts. He got treated for it over there and got better. He said it was like a type of flu.
Several months or a year later he got the symptoms back and got treated again. Apparently that spider bite doesn't always clear your system and you can keep getting ill again long after the bite.
If you've been bitten by spiders or mossies it's quite possible to have a known illness as a result. Better to check with your GP if you can I reckon.

I agree with @annedonnelly .
If there's a problem getting an urgent GP appointment, do you have a local Urgent Care unit/walk-in clinic? Alternatively, call 111 and in many areas, they can set you up with an urgent appt with your GP.

Doc NOW
make sure they know you have swollen legs after a long haul flight
preferably before you go away
hope it turns out to be trivial - but it sounds like it is something!

I would want my patients to contact me with symptoms like these. As others say contact your GP
