Normal people shouldn't know the term "subdural hematoma".
Stop Googling.

It depends how hard you hit yourself; it's something I'm wary of too. You would appear not to have lost consciousness, and having a headache and yes, even feeling a bit tired after such a thing is quite normal. When you struggle to keep conscious, that's an issue - but to put things into perspective, a few months ago one of these fell on my head in my storage unit from a couple of feet and as you can see, I am still here.

I can understand your curiosity but recently that same curiosity had a major impact on my health. Search engines are NOT your friend.
Wow...that's a vintage piece! And Realistic (Radio Shack) reels too!

From back in the days when your stereo equipment falling on your head meant possibly needing a JCB to get it off! :biggrin:
Agree with axolotl. Only medical professions talk like that. I swear a doctor looks at you funny if you come out with the correct medical term for a whack on the head.
I've hit my head so many times. Including doors, windows, tables, lampposts, letter boxes, the list is endless.......

My father-in-law once closed a car boot on my head.
I think it was an accident... :wacko:
I don’t know how many times I have hit my head, I have had countless punches from my ex as well,I got an illness from that it is called GAD and Complex PTSD not a Subdural hematoma :wacko:

This is terrible, and I did not want your comment to slide under the radar. I hope you are safe now. You are in my thoughts.

Lola-so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and I feel for you.
Otherwise, I am still having a headache and tired today. Worried it could be the hematoma.

Translation: I decided to go ahead and ignore everybody’s replies and repost my original fear.
I am not interested in replies. I just want to be dramatic.
I'm tormented by far of this, it's all I can think about. I feel guilty or something for hitting my head and feel like this is what i get or something

Are you getting any help for this? Your post history is a litany of being scared witless by everyday occurrences and it's really no way to live.
But I mean bumping my head is pretty serious, I haven't even seen a doctor and I'm not sure how a normal person would react. really worried my brain will start bleeding

Translation: I’m going to continue ignoring replies about my anxiety and continue posting the same irrational fear time and time again, no matter how much reassurance I’m given.

A normal person would answer direct questions that concerned people ask them, when they go on the Internet specifically to ask strangers for help. ;)
thank you, I do understand what you're saying. to answer questions about treatment: yes, I've been getting treatment for health anxiety, but head injuries are one of my "big"last remaining fears. I've come a long way from having almost daily panic attacks like I was last year. Now they're maybe once every few months. however hitting my head is a trigger for the health anxiety.

Therapist? Meds? Both? if you're in therapy, does your therapist know of your reassurance seeking on he forum?
I'd like a response that doesn't include a "yeah but" and a list of symptoms please.
