GP is the better bet if you are really concerned, i'd suggest calling them first though as they will actually give you good advice/information and may be able to determine what is causing you to feel sick.

@Aiminna in Australia there are a few help lines you can call if you have health questions.

I only visit a doctor if I need a prescription. Unfortunately they often misdiagnose because frankly they have all of us categorized into groups.

@Artistworkingalone very true.
It is hard to find a good doctor that takes the time to question you and learn who you are

@Hanging2 when people choose proffessions according to money and job availibility, they often do a bad job and feel stuck until they retire, after which they die early realizing they had worked all their lives doing something they disliked. Lose lose. A real doctor is curious and considers each cases as a puzzel to be solved. Ok now back to my coffee.

If it’s not something I’m used to, I see my doctor. Google will have me thinking I’ve contracted bubonic plague. 😳

@bijouxbroussard Your right. Everything begins with elevated fever and sweating.
