Hello,

Thank you for trusting HCM.

I dont think you need to cut your holiday, what you need to do is to watch out for him not fall or injure himself until he gets his physical examination by his doctor. Probably its not something that is progressive in nature in a week period, contact your GP on Monday for further discussion and reassurance.

hope that helped.
