When to Go to the Hospital

I hit the back of my head after falling Straight back from only standing height. I don’t feel sick or dizzy but have a head ache that mostly disappears with paracetamol. But I do have a bruise feeling on the area where I hit my head-do you think I’m fine and it should just go away?

I hit my head 3 nights ago. I have a severe headache that hasn't gone away. My vision gets really blurred when I drive and sometimes at work I lose balance. I hit my head last year in an accident on the left side. When I fell this time I hit my forehead on my hairline. Should I go to the hospital?

There is a certain spot on my head that is SORE when I touch it. I have hit my head SO MANY times in the recent past month or so, banged it on the top bunk getting into bed, banged it on the car trying to get something in or out of it, and I even hit my own head when I have a migraine and the pain just doesn't seem to MOVE out of that one location, I thought it was a bruise but it's been hanging around way too long for that, so any one of these might have caused me to possibly have cracked my skull. I do not feel a knot, but when I find that spot that is sore when scratching my head, I seem to feel nauseous until I leave it alone...The nausea & pain stops whenever I leave it alone. I have noticed that I have been extremely ANGRY here of late, but I thought that was due to me being bullied at work and then let go when I was the hardest temp worker they had and expected to stay! I don't have any money to go to the doctor with. Hospital charges an exhorbitant amount of money. $3k just for a bladder infection diagnosis, in and out in less than two hours! Maybe it's just a bump, like in acne, but I cannot seem to be able to find it. I don't want to injure my brain in case it is an indention injury that is not healing! Now I"m lying awake and cannot sleep at the thought of this!

I got hit on the top of my head with a pry bar traveling very fast and attached to heavy equipment. Thankfully I was wearing a hard hat and it took the brunt. I have been nauseous but not vomiting, dizzy, hard time thinking normally, blurred vision, headaches and I find it hard to open both my eyes. I saw a dr. who sent me home with a prescription for alive. My pain in neck and shoulders is increasing and pressure on my head also hurts. The dr. did not give me a cat scan because he said he did not think I was bleeding and there was a radiation risk with the scan. Should I go back???

I fell last night on ice. It happened so fast I couldn't brace myself. I fell back and hit the back of my head. I had alot of aches and pains and a headache and nausia. I felt a little like I was watching tv. Sort of disconnected. I didn't loose consciousness but my vision got dim/dark for a minute. I woke up at 3 am this morning and had no balance at all. Went back to sllep til 6am and I'm not so off balance but something is different for sure. Other then the pain in my back and neck.
I have been in a auto accident where someone hit me head on almost 10 yrs ago and I did loose consciousness briefly then. I was dx with a mild TBI then. Could this just be my old symptoms being aggrrivated?

Ok, I'm 15 and yesterday I hit the side of my head on the car door and have had headaches since. Today, I was laying down and I told my mom to hand me my phone and she ended up dropping it on the side of my head I hit yesterday. My mom tells me I'm worrying too much and we don't have insurance. Advice?

I was snowboarding and going about 30 to 35 mph. Hit a real wet patch of snow under a lift tower that made my board stop dead in it tracks. It pitched me right on to my head. I hit a patch af man made snow that was rock hard. I woke up sliding on my back pretty fast. I was able to self arrest before I hit a tree head first. I had a helmet on which I think saved my life. It’s been 3 days and I have a head ache and everything is kind of fuzzy. I was lucky enough to bump into a Dr at the midway lodge 3 minutes after it happened. He said I was ok, but to go right home. Should I get a CT scan or do I need to just rest for a few more days

a few day ago, I managed to hit my head on the wooden corner of the night stand when I rolled over in bed and bashed the outer corner of my eyebrow pretty hard...l didn't get a concussion or a black eyed, but had only a minor bump that was barely noticeable that I put a cold pack on.... however, my neck and back feels stiff, my left eye seemed a little blood shot, and I've been spacey minded... however, I just came back from a week
long vacation of sleeping on a somewhat uncomfortable bed, and it's normal for me to get jet lag and be exhausted from traveling. However, I wasn't sure whether the vacation, head bashing, or combination of both factors to be able to distinguish which factor had more of an effect on me to explain the reason behind stiff muscles and fog. I'm still glazed, stiff, and just worried if the head bash might be serious since I thought I had felt something that got in my eye at one point. I haven't barfed or anything but I did burp and got a slight taste of the meal in my throat. and I'm not sure my mind is playing tricks on me for slight small changes I noticed in my vision at times as well during breif moments for my hearing...and not sure but it seemed as if I felt as if my head was somewhat tender...and tasks are taking longer since I kinda daze out so...gonna end it here. thanks

Almost 17 or 18 days ago I hit the forehead on the wall and at the same time when I bend some yellow fluid came out of my nose in a small quantity.. after that day I went to the hospital and my doc ask me to collect that fluid if it comes again and meet him and gave me antibiotics.. but that didn't happen again. After 5days I met him and he said that I am fine.. there is no need of CT scan.. and now I am not feeling well. Some sort of little heaviness in my head and I can't even sleep because I have anxiety issues.. should I go to doctor again or am I fine?

I hit the base of the back of my head hard on the left side. Got a headache and felt the br uising hours later not at the time. Now 3am and up with a worse headache. Started in forehead and now sort of everywhere and a bit off balance. Should i see a doctor or wait and see

My husband hit his head at work.. for two days he talked about that same tingle feeling and said he just didn't feel right. 11 days ago I came home from work to find him on our floor having a seizure and unresponsive... He never felt a bad headache only that tingle and couldn't concentrate. He just kept saying he didn't feel right... from the seizure that they believe came from a blow to his head caused more damage and after returning to the ER learned he had 2 spots of bleeding that the nuerosugen believes was an initial bleed and caused a seizure and banged his head causing a more recent bleed... they kept him in a coma for 5 days... and continued to drain the blood for another 8 days. His kidney had shut down and he was in arrest when I found him. Don't wait! Never wait! It's better to be safe then sorry!! Always when in doubt... GO....
My advice... if you EVER hit your head harder then a knock.... GO
My husband Never showed any outside trauma... No bump or bruise... But if we had just gone it could have been a simple treat... but due to a slow bleed turned into almost death... with Tramatic Brain injury it's not over after being released from the hospital... it's been a week now and he still doesn't act himself, he gets angry very easy almost abusive, He was washing my car with toothpaste while i was in the store two days ago, he has hallucinations... because I found him so we don't know the extent of damage from how long he was in the seizure.... the only safety is in prevention and early detection... GO!!!

About a couple weeks ago, I got up, then felt a little dizzy but not to the extent of passing out when all of a sudden I blacked out, fell down against a wall that now has a big dent in it, soon after that had a siezure/convulsions my friend said, he almost called 911 because the way I was laying looked as though I had broken my neck but after a few minutes I came too, was super confused, my head felt fine, only the next day did I experience a pretty bad headache, ever since then I have had neck pains that shoot to my shoulders but not sure if it’s related. Should I still after all this time go get it checked out just in case? I’m guessing if there is question I probably should?

Thrown backward into telephone post hitting the back of my head. Just barely dazed but back of head was hurting badly and I was sure there was blood. None there and got up to finish with horse. I had a huge lump and it felt hard at first then squishy. Obviously painful for a while but lump went squishy that night and only had a little mark and bruise on small hard lump. All seemed fine except weird pain when pressure is applied there. Year and a half later the back of my head still feels like it will crack open if pushed on or laying back of head on pillow. Pain goes away when pressure is removed. I am one of the lucky souls that has suffered depression and anxiety for years so that means doctors think you are imagining things or just plain crazy. Anyhow I was just wondering if any of you might know what's up with my head lol.

I hit the side of my head beside my eye on cement drive way still hurts to touch should I be looked at

Hi. My daughter is 6. Today she just hit her head so hard that she was vomiting. It has been an hour and she is playing like normal again. Should I be worried and take her in?

At the age of nineteen, I had a fall and hit my head on my carpeted floor, my husband said that my eyes rolled back and they rushed me to the hospital. I don't remember getting off the floor, getting help into the car, Nothing! My husband said my eyes were glazed looking and I was talking out of my head. He said they gave me a sedative to sleep. I stayed in the hospital for a week. Was this a mild concussion?
