Is it correct to say "worth you speaking to"?
It sounds to me that if you know you are feeling wobbly it might be worth you speaking to the GP about this too.

Is it correct to say "at a time when "?
It could just have been a tiredness thing but it wasn't at a time when she would normally be tired.
Thanks

The first one is OK in everyday speech. Formally, I would prefer "worth your speaking to" if the word is to be included, but often "you/your" would be omitted. "at a time when" is fine.

"worth your while" is also used, of course.
