Hello,
Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX
You need to know that when you are pregnant you developed some few episodes of slight illness and you might feel a little ware out/stressed. Even though having addison's diseases and being pregnant does not seem to pose any problem on its own. But pregnancy as a condition on its own can exacerbate symptom's of the adrenal insufficiency. I do not think you will require a GP consultation except of course for the manage of the headache with pain killers. You will also require close follow-up of your pregnancy with a gynobs (especially with your existing chronic condition).
I hope I was helpful and please feel free to write back if you need any more info.
