I was in the shower washing my hair when I started feeling out of breath, and dizzy so I opened the shower door and next thing you know, I woke up on the bathroom floor, I don’t know how long I was passed out for. My vision was really blurry and I couldn’t see. Took me 5/10 mins to be able to see clearly. My whole right side of my body is pretty bruised up and I have a bump on my head that’s very painful. I don’t know if I should go hospital or not. I have had headaches and problems with balance and have felt very weak and sick.
I'm 3 months out from my head injury. I hit the back of my head on a concrete wall last November 27, 2020. The first few days was really tough for me. I almost have those concussion symptoms like headaches, random light dizziness, nausea, a sudden balance problem. Currently, I'm still suffering with head pressure and tightness especially whenever i touch my hair or press my scalf, it feels sensitive to touch especially at the occipital area (where I hit my head). Also my head feels tight and sensitive as it touches to my pillow whenever I lay down to bed. What should I do with this?
I am dealing with the same issue. Hit my head on the corner of my wall when I fell about 4 months ago, and I’ve been so scared since. What have you done for your problems?
I and another member was being pulled in a kayaks on the snow behind a four wheeler. Mine tipped I fell out and the other kayak came straight into the left side of my head by my temple. Tip of the kayak made full contact. Didn’t lose consciousness, just instant pain and ringing, almost felt like my head was in a vice “pressure”. Since incident to 9 hours later I still have a headache. Hurts to bite down/chew. Dizzy when I stand after lying down. Nausea. Swelling on my head. No major bruising. Should I go to the ER? Thank you
Fell on the ice today. Hit the upper left backside of my head. I was told I blacked out for 1 minute. I was dizzy and disoriented afterwards. But now I feel fine. Huge bump on head and it hurts to touch. Should I go to hospital in the morning? There’s a snowstorm. I’m 54 years old.
This same thing happened to me last night walking in downtown Austin slipped on black ice and hit my head in the same spot! I’m 33 I fell asleep and my elbows and head are a bit sore. But I woke up this morning! So I think that’s a good sign!
Tell my daughter Krista hello if you see her.. She performs with her band Krista Van Liew. I hope you are feeling better! My daughter sent me pics of that horrible snowstorm!. Don’t go out unless you are wearing boots designed for ice!
I was a nurse some years back. Worked in different areas and I liked it, well, loved it.
One afternoon close to the time to head out to my shift, I was walking in the back yard, with my mom and I slipped and fell hitting my left temple, with a sharp cement corner, "from the foundation of the house". I didn't lose consciousness but I felt faint like. But not unconscious. So I was in a dilemma. Do I go to work or should I go to the ER. Well, I went to work. My temple hurt and I felt a bit dizzy. So I went ready to work, but told the shift supervisor about the fall and that I wanted to be checked out. But she said " as soon as your finished here you can go" So I worked my shift. Calling my super several times telling her I did not feel good. She had me finished my shift, at 11 pm, and then she told me to go to the E. R. I was treated right away and evaluated with a CT scan. Thank God there was no bleed and the next day I was fine. But what if I had a slow bleed? Or a big one? Well, I know, that if I had had trouble, I would have Sued the hospital adm. Please don't take head injuries lightly.
Your supervisor made the wrong call. You do not need permission. Remember, you are not a prisoner. This woman should have a write up and disciplined. I’m sorry you and others have to put up with bullies. I, too, had even a judge who bullied me. I’m so happy I’m retired.
So every night I take medication to fall asleep but there are times where I apparently wake up and go to the bathroom but I wake up during some what I feel is some strange hour and I end up with my head tilted on the door jam but I don't remember hitting my head or even hurting myself. I take blood thinners so I'm just worried about it and want to make sure before I go to sleep again. I know you cannot give real medical advice but I think I would love to know and if I may be ok. Thank you!

I had my head pounded into concrete last year and 3 months ago I had my head bashed with a hammer about 5 times i some times can’t think or feel like I can do anything n get lost in thought how do I know if I’m ok
I was punched in the temple with a hard solid blow. I idmeditly got the worse headache ever. On the way to hospital....I started throwing up. They had to put a drain tube in my scalp and did brain surgery following more. I had a sevire brain bleed. Was that from then punch in temple?
I fell back works I was on the second step fell on my back hit my back and the back of my head on the front door later on I was shacking all over I have slept most of the day as I feel very unsteady on my feet I was going to ring the doctor but I felt so ill I have left it today I am75yrs
My daughter hit her head in the morning and she had to have a head wash in the evening she was alright but by night she is complaining of a headache and nausea. Is this bad and should I take her to a hospital
Whoa! How can someone that has no equipment to evaluate you r brain, tell you " you should be fine"? Please go to a Doctor and get help. Tell them your symptoms. Line now!
Hit my head with a paddleball racquet above my left eye felt fine got a lump which I put ice on. Two days later i m walking sideways like vertigo symptoms or inner ear infection but no pain. Should I be worried?
I slipped in the bath and head butted the wall I didn't feel dizzy or loose consciousness but I do have a headache my forehead is red and bruise as is my nose and I may have a black eye forming. This happened an hour ago
I slipped and hit my head on a table. I have a hole on my right side of my head by my ear/ hair line. It’s not to small but not to big. It’s not that deep. All the right side of my head and face is hurting now and my ear hurts badly. What do I do
I hit my left side of forehead eye really hard on the edge of door frame I was crying in pain for 10mins then I started getting confused and dazed blurred vision, pain in the left side of head behind eye and pressure or strianing feeling to its been 1half since I did it and I still have a lump and a 20cm long by 5cm wide dent running down my left front lobes to behind my eyebrow did I crack my skull
While snowboarding I fell at mid speed, landed on my bum and the back of my head whipped into the hardened snow. I fell slightly dizzy for only a short moment and resumed without issue. The next day I come to realize that I cannot lift my head off of my pillow. I don't believe it's a brain injury, but I am very concerned about the neck strain and don't want to visit a hospital if I can avoid it.
Messing around and I landed/hit the back of my head doing a backflip off a couch- my spine hurt and the headaches haven’t stopped nor the neck and back pain...
I hit the top of my head and jammed my neck now I have severe pain vision problems and my neck cracks when I move it a certain way then when it cracks that pain literally makes me sick to my stomach
