I hit the back my head twice in Nov/Dec of 2018. Once on skates on my wood floor, I hot the back of my head hard and went straight to the fire station to be examined. Not long after, I slipped on the ice outside on a sloped driveway and landed full force on the back of my head. I went to a walk-in clinic when I hit the wood floor and they said I had a mild concussion. No CT scan or Xrays were done. I told my primary doctor as well. I did not seek medical attention the second time but it was a hard hit, scary. My head was tender for several months but I didn’t lose consciousness either time. Now I’m seeing blood when I clean my ears. Should I seek additional medical attention?

My cat vomited and my partner stepped in it and fell
On our hard wood floor and hit his head. No bleeding nor did he lose conscious. He had a bump on the back of his head but says he does not need or want to go to hospital. I have ice in the bump. Anything else I should do?

I got stuck/poked with a needle last Saturday on my temple area when getting a hair sew in. Now it’s a week later and I think I have a hematoma on my left side of my head it’s sore to the touch, should I go to the hospital is my brain possibly bleeding, or am I just freaking out ?

Hello, I was in a car accident and totalled my car and my head has been hurting a lot but I didn't think anything of it because it's normal from the whip lash although I did hit my head pretty hard on the head rest. I don't think I was unconscious after the accident but I got home and napped but I still felt some what concious and it swas hard to wake myself back up. Should I be concerned?

I had a hit to the back of my head around the right side around the crown part back of the eye and to the side towards the ear. (a heavy crystal vase fell on me ) while I was moving a cabinet. I didn't think to move it at the time as I was only moving it very slightly. Anyway I was very lucky I remained conciousness and only grained a large lump and swelling where it knocked. I got this feeling of blood build up sensation (like I could feel it bleeding inside) It was sore for weeks and still remains sore at times. It was now three weeks ago and I never went to the hospital is it ever too late? I never went as my husband kept reassuring me that I was fine and the headaches and soreness and swelling is all normal I will be fine. Yet I felt that with bang that hard I should just check it but he kept insisting. So I never went, I still don't know as I don't want to one day not wake up because I didn't check it when I should have. Do you think I still should and is it too late?
thanks

If I got into a fight and they hit my head by my temple several times should I go to the hospital? I been having headaches, pain on my temple, loss of appetite.

56 yrs in otherwise good health female: Yesterday evening I rolled my ankle wearing wedge shoes, causing me to fall backwards in a parking lot, hitting the back of my head on the asphalt, which made a dull thud sound. A young guy helped me up. It hurt but I didn't cry or black out; no broken skin or bleeding. I felt unsteady, shaky, but after sitting in my car a few minutes, went on to the lecture I was headed to. I tracked with the presentation and did not get a significant headache which really surprised me. I took 400mg Ibuprofen just the same. No nausea developed or speech impairment, vision perhaps a bit off, but I thought it may have been the lecture hall lighting.

I iced when I went home 3 hours later, which actually made it hurt. This morning I feel a bit thick-headed, with some "tingling", maybe very slight nausea though not enough to not eat; took 600 mg ibuprofen. I'm moving a little slower- on purpose- and reluctant to make something out of nothing. I'm at work, reading and on the computer. Given these details, should I go be checked out? Thanks for your insight.

I was playing with my brother on the grass with a water gun and I was running towards him not that fast, maybe a faster-paced jog. I slipped because of the water and fell hard on my head in the grass. I just curled up in a ball in tried to wait for the pain to stop. Fast forward to 1 day in the future, my neck feels kinda stiff, uncomfortable, and somewhat slightly painful when I move. Is it normal? Am I just sensitive?

I have recently hit the back of my head against concrete, I was jumping on top of a bench but lost my balance. I fell on my back, and the back of my head bounced off the concrete hard. I had no bleeding of any sort that I can see or feel, but my left hand, neck, and right leg hurt. Is this enough for me to go to the hospital?

I hit my head on a box and went unconscious for just a few seconds and I do have memory of what happened but ever since then I haven't been able to sleep without waking up every hour feeling light headed or that's the only way I can explain it honestly I feel weird. Should I go to the hospital?

I was just trying to do a hand stand, which was a really dumb idea but I crashed my head into the floor pretty hard there's a tiny bit of blood. LIKE TINY tiny in my hair. My head feels funny I feel kind of loopy and dizzy but I didn't lose cosciousness. My head hurts too. What should I do?

Please respond.

I was in an extreme car accident 6 Yers ago and cut my head open, had bleeding in the brain, I’ve had two bad concussions in the past year and 3 days ago I got another concussion against the bus roof.

Been to two doctors and they both confirm it’s a concussion and worry about my TBI.

I’m on meds and everyone is telling me to get rest and that if I don’t feel better an hour after meds, then I should go to the hospital.

I don’t feel better yet they tell me to sleep it off.

My head is heavy. I'm nauseous. I feel dizzy. I keep having memory loss of the past two days and I can’t sleep.

What do I do?

I fell from a standing position and hit my head on the tile floor. I did not lose consciousness when I hit the floor but I have no memory of what caused the fall. I was bleeding and had terrible vertigo and head and neck pain so went by ambulance. I had a CAT scan and X-ray- no bleeding. They told my sister I did not have a concussion but I disagree. The Vertigo, constant headaches, sleepiness and shakiness are not my imagination. My sister and I argued over whether or not I had one - I don’t know why. I decided if I was okay then I would take a shower. The vertigo onslaught happened in the shower. I was terrified because I couldn’t get my balance. I tried calling for help but no one heard me. I blacked out and hit my head - again on the floor/side of bathtub. When I came to I freaked out. The Vertigo was still effecting me, I hurt my foot in some way, but I was mostly afraid I’d done real damage to my head, hammering it twice in less than a week. No bleeding this time except where I had apparently bit my lip. My brother-in-law had to get me out of the tub and half-carry me to my bed. He got me ice for my head. No one can take me to the hospital unless I call someone from church. Obviously, I can think and write so I guess I’m okay but the blackouts are scary. I don’t know what to do. Sometimes my family makes me feel like I am too ‘precious’ and navel-gaze too much. They think I should just get on with things and my symptoms will eventually go away. I’m not so sure. I don’t want to be stupid. I don’t know what to do.

I was lying on my side when my partner put a pillow over the right side of my head and punched me there. I felt like my brain separated for 2 seconds then the pain hit. Two weeks later, still having headaches. Do I wait it out?

Hello, my mom fell in the grocery store. She hit the whole left side of her body. 2 weeks later. She’s feeling dizzy with a constant headache, nauseous, and has eye pain or her left side. Should she go to the hospital?

i got slammed in the head when someone opened the door really hard. It hurt a lot but no bruise right away. i had a stomache ache that day and went straight home and slept. The next day it really hurt and i had a headache. I felt a bit nautious and dizzy but i am unsure if if it was because of that or my stomache. I put ice and it felt better. today i don't have a headache or feel particulary nautious, it also doesn't hurt as much. Should i still go to the doctors?
