Brain Injury: When to Go to the Hospital

My husband fell in the hospital when brought to the rest room. He had an O2 sat of 83 and they walked him to the rest room. After hitting his head they had to do a sternum rub to wake him. Brought back to the ER room and developed a huge hematoma on his cheek and a black bruise on the inside of his ear. They did a CT scan without contrast and it showed nothing. The next day he had a seizure and died. Is it true that a CT scan could have missed a slow bleeding vein?

I experienced a sub cranial brain hemorrhage, concussion and seizure after a motorcycle accident, and a week and a half later I’m getting headaches that sort of pulse in the back of my head. Should I go to the ER? I have a follow up appointment with a neuro surgeon on Monday, but should I wait?

My brother hit his head pretty good on the pool floor when my niece and nephew were playing on top of him. Almost immediately he said he couldn't see very well out of his left eye but could see fine out of his right. We let him sit for a few minutes and was uncomfortable with the bright sun. It took two of us to stand him up. He is rather large at 6 ft 2 and he was unbalanced. He vomited a little bit so we laid him on the pool chair in the shade. He has had concussions before playing football. He has a good red mark where he hit. He hasn't slept for the past 12 hours so it doesn't set in. But how can i be sure it's only a concussion? There is a difference between getting your head knocked around wearing a padded helmet and getting it hit without one. How can i be sure it's not a bleed because he is unwilling to go to the hospital. He thinks we are overreacting.

Has anyone experienced a delayed concussion? I had a car accident almost 3 weeks ago. I didn’t think I lost consciousness when it happened but there is a blank in my memory between hearing the glass shatter and realizing the airbag was burning and the car was full of smoke. I thought I had a full account of the events after the wreck but a week later I saw 5 people who had stopped to help and I didn’t remember or I felt like I’d never seen them. in the last week I’ve had a headache in one spot and short term memory issues. I realize at the time I could have just been in shock and now could just be really anxious about it (finding out what I thought happened after and what did happen was pretty upsetting).
Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so, can you share? ....thank you!

In Aug. 2017, I hit my head on the concrete steps at church. Both preachers were there and asked if I was alright. I said yes & went home. However, later that year I started developing horrible headaches. Finally on April 30, 2017, I started walking to the right and my head hurt so bad I wanted to take it off. I went to the ER with blue fingertips, pale skin, my mouth was pulled down on one side and I didn’t know who the President was. A CT scan was done and I was told I had bleeding in the right side of my brain. I was taken to San Antonio by ambulance. There I had an MRA but they didnt fun anything. I was told the blood was old blood. The next day, I was about to be released when I saw 2 clocks on the wall, then I saw many clocks on the wall and worms on the bathroom floor - but an EEG found nothing. Once I came home I started stuttering. Can you tell me what is going on?

Today I was running wire in a new construction building I stood up straight into a metal beam. I sat back down. It hurt and burned all across the top of my head. My ears hurt, the base of my skull, neck and shoulders. I went to a chiropractor within 2 hours of doing this. He said I definitely injured my neck and I’ll be more stiff and sore in the morning. It’s now 5 hours since I hit my head. I’m very sleepy. I normally don’t get sleepy this time of day even after working like that. My head feels funny and heavy. Eyes are blurry and pain off and on in my head behind one of my eyes, etc. My neck still hurts of course. I didn’t think I had a concussion, but now I’m wondering. Should I go to the doctor? I just want to go to bed... although I wouldn’t normally go to bed for 5 or 6 hours from now.

My son felled and hit the back of his head. Started to complain of a headache 2 hours later should I take him to the ER

I fell face first into The doorframe 6 weeks ago. I didn’t break my nose yet had lots of bruising. It took 10 days to look decent enough to go out in public. Now I wake up with numb/tingling in both feet and hands. Had an MRI. It came back normal. I had forgotten to mention my fall to the dr. And the mri tech. Can an MRI show if I have water on the brain or bleeding on thembrain

Is it possible to receive a brain injury and not show symptoms for a couple of days?

My son was diagnosed with Spastic Paraplegia #20 complex. age 36 diag/3 years ago. He told me he has fallen many times due to balance issues. For the first time today I saw him fall and bang his head on the cement driveway. He stayed cleared headed, as for some assistance, but got up and said he was not feeling sick . Refused to go to ER. My concern is with leisions on his brain, could this make him more apt to get a bleeding in his brain as his brain is shrinking as well.

Hey i had gotten up out of my gamer chair really fast after did that i got really light headed and blacked out. I hit my head on the door and a metal candle lid. When i regained conceness a few minutes after my whole body was tingling. Now i just get migrains, feel nausios, feel depressed, having a hard time sleeping, and feeling drowsy all the time. Should i go to the hospital or no??

I know the article said to go to the hospital if there was any doubt but I just really want a second opinion right now because it's 9:30 PM where I live and I don't want to have to make my parents go out if they don't have to. At dance practice today, I was practicing a certain acrobatic trick and we didn't communicate well enough so I was dropped extremely hard on my left cheekbone and still very hard on my lower right side of the back of my head. Initially, I felt extremely dazed, my vision became dark and spotty in certain places, especially the edges, my head hurt on the location of impact (obviously), and I just wanted to close my eyes and not move. This went on for about five minutes and after this, I just felt out of it and a little dizzy, but I continued practicing (with a lower intensity of course) after my dance coach checked my pupils to make sure they were dilating properly. This happened at about 6 PM and I continued to feel better until now because I just feel very anxious and still out of it and I don't know what to do. I don't know if I'm just shaken up by what happened and now I'm overthinking it, but now I'm just scared and I need opinions. Please help me.
