To be "up to high Doh" means to be practically screaming with frustration or exasperation.It does refer to the musical scale as mentioned already,in that High Doh is the highest point you can reach,before you break.

It is a mainly Scottish term, I believe, which means you are in an unbearable state, 'worked up' with nervous agitation, exasperation or excitement. Usually used in negative terms when one's nerves are shattered and are literally at breaking point, referring to the musical scale comparison.

I've only read it in Rankin's Rebus novels.
In context, seems to mean screaming in rage, so high note on musical scale seems right.
