Hi all,
Strangely, my latest fear comes after being in a car crash at the weekend. My car was hit by a bus yesterday, no where as bad as it sounds, but I ended up getting a bang on my head in the process. I had a lump above my right temple. The paramedics turned up, checked me out and said I should be OK, might just be a bit dazed for a while, but to keep an eye out for the normal concussion type symptoms.
Well, I have had a mild headache on and off since it happened and have been feeling a bit woozy (my wife thinks its the shock of everything that happened yeaterday).
I even called primary care today and explained that I was still feeling rough and they pretty much said that I need to keep an eye on things, but now I'm terrified that I might have really cracked my skull and that I'm on the verge of something awful happening. Primary care said that I could feel bad for as much as two weeks but I'm really scared. I know this is a slightly different post, but any words of logic would be very, very welcome.

PS, could the shock and stress be making me feel tired/achey/lightheaded??
