Hi,
I am not often worried about my health......I go through ups and downs, depending on my mental health in general.
BUT.....I am worried just now.
I bumped my head on the stairs a few weeks back and forgot about it really. Then a week-ten days ago, I was scratching or rubbing my scalp and OW! There was a really sore spot. I had to think what I had done then I remembered bumping it on the stairs. I wasn't unduly worried at the time but I did Google and read on fractures. What I read didn't really worry me. (at the time!) It said fractures do happen to the skull and heal in their own good time.
However.......It is still really tender. No lump. And I have started getting headaches every day. I don't get headaches as a rule.
My calmness has eased off! I keep on thinking "I am not even sure that is where I bumped my head.......so if it isn't that......what is it?"
My aunt died of a brain haemorrage or something like that at my age. I am panicking it is something sinister. I am trying hard not to google and even harder to not make an appt with my GP. I am sort of in between GP's and I haven't built up a relationship with another yet. Any doc will just look at my mental health record and dismiss me.
