Hit on head making me anxious

[Shadowshil]

Hello all

Yesterday evening i accidentaly hit my head with my boyfriend's (hope you understand what i mean).I hitted my head on the left side almost on the top of the head. I felt strong pain at that moment but nothing else. I slept all night although i kept waking my self up every few hours to check how i am. Today i have a slight headacke and something like numbness and tingling on the spot where i got hit and around it (left side of my head). I dont feel dizzy or have any other strange symptom. The more i think of it the more stressed i am becoming and i am starting to have an uneasy stomach which of course is one of the symptoms of serious head damage. Don't know how to calm myself and stop thinking about it. I am at work right now and i cant even concetrate. My mind is always thinking that i have damaged my head really seriously.Trying to stay calm is difficult right now.

Thank you all for reading :)

Hey,

come on, you know it was only a little knock on the head and you are absolutely fine. I expect the numbness and tingling are more to do with you thinking about the bump and imagining that there should be pain! Your uneasy stomach is probably also a symptom of your worrying!!!

Try and do some relaxation exercises, have a look on the web if you don't have any to hand, and that may help you to relax and stop thinking about it!

Hi Shadowshil, sounds like you've probably bruised yourself.

You aren't showing symptoms of a concussion or anything like that. Your skull can take quite a knock without any damage, you really have to get a good whack to be in trouble, and the fact that you were able to carry on normally and slept relatively well suggests there is nothing wrong with you. :)

Hello again :)

Thank you for the replies. I am still feeling quite stressed and worried but i am trying to persuade myself that it has been almost 2 days and if anything was going to be wrong it should have by now. Still have headaches probably because i didn't sleep ok last night since i was so worried.

Thanks again :)

You would definitely have known by now if it was serious. Honestly, forget about it, you're fine :D
