So I was walking home form the store last night, a car nearly hit me because it was going too fast and swerving. Luckily I jumped out of the way in time only to wack my head on something. What I don't really remember, but I get home and i feel fine, other then the huge bump on the back of me head. So fast forward to like 2 hours latter and I start to feel sick to my stomach and my head really hurt along with blurry vision. I go to the er and isntly they wanted to do a ct scan. Of course I freek out because my health anxiety is focused on my head and neck. They say i have to, so I reluctantly agree. So i have the scan and was diagnosed the mild concussion. I was pretty happy that nothing showed up on the scan like a tumor or anything. But what really freaked me out was that the want me to see a neurologist? If I was diagnosed already why do i have to see a neuro? Is that normal?

There is so much that is still unknown about brain injuries. The doctor is likely playing it safe and wants you to be re-monitored a few days later to make sure everything is ok.

Sounds to me like you’re in your own head to be honest
