Hello,

Could someone tell me whether the below sentence is OK, or if it's not, why not?

I have a terrible headache. I could go to see a doctor tomorrow morning.

I'm not sure about the "could" in the second sentence.
I wrote the second sentence to mean "It's possible that I will go to see a doctor tomorrow morning."

To me, "might", instead of "could", would sound better, but is it wrong to use "could" here?

Thank you in advance.

Use might.
