Yesterday night when I was getting ready for bed at around 10.45 PM I hit the top right back of my head really hard against the bathroom sink (I was picking something up). It hurt a lot and I tried to cool it a bit with my hands (I had cold hands at the time LOL). I didn't loose consciousness, only the place hurt where I hit my head.
Since I was scared to go to sleep, I went to Google what to do after you hit your head, and I really shouldn't have done that. It ranges from concussions to bleeding in the brain... It also says that even though you don't have any symptoms at the time of the hit, they can show up even days or weeks later.
Last year I hit my head as well and then I got very dizzy a couple of days later, and my GP diagnosed me with a very mild concussion. I remember him asking if I lost consciousness, if I vomited, etc.
I slept fine, woke up a couple of times during the night, which is usual for me. I live alone so I couldn't ask anyone to wake me up. My head doesn't hurt, just a bit of pressure and my neck muscles feel tense. I am not nauseous (not counting the nausea I sometimes feel when I wake up) or dizzy.
My common sense says that I am overreacting, and that I will be OK since I don't have any symptoms, but then there's my anxiety taking over telling me I'm not in the clear yet and that I have some sort of brain bleed that hasn't showed up yet. :unsure: Do you think I should worry and see my GP?
