I just hit my head

[Panda22]

I just hit my head against the side of the door. It made quite a hard sound but doesn't hurt too bad now, only the first few minutes... I don't really know why but this is worrying me. I read some google and i'm really checking myself to see if i don't notice anything odd like vision problems or feeling sick...

It's 10pm here and i wonder if its fine for me to go to sleep in a few hours.. Maybe this is a weird question but i read things on the internet so im kinda worried

You'll be fine. Skulls are made for knocks.

I really think you're ok :-)

Maybe a little sore but ok.

Thanks both of you. It's like 30mins later now and the side of my head feels sore and i feel a little out of it... but the out of it is probably mostly from the anxiety it gave me

Try to sleep, when my son hit his head (fell off something and hit it on the pavement) the doctor said sleeping helps it to heal. I am sure it will be fine. Our heads are very tough :)

I made a post like this a few months ago, so I know what you are going through! I had fallen off the back of a chair and hit the back of my head on tile pretty hard. Had some dizziness for about a week after but thankfully everything turned out to be ok. You're looking for the right signs, nausea and a really bad headache, usually together, are signs that something is wrong inside but I believe that it is really rare, especially in younger healthier people. The poster above is right, it takes a really significant blow to the head to cause internal damage, and it sounds like you didn't even have a concussion, just a sore spot from hitting it which is totally normal.
