Concussion....?!


Question: Earlier today I was making some room in the back of my car for a package and my trunk door slowly came down without me noticing. As I came up to strighten out, I smacked my head really hard on the bottom.

I didn't black out, I had/have no memory loss, my vision is fine, I'm not fatigued or nausious or vomiting. I've been feeling fine all day, it's been 10 hours since I bumped my head, but right now I do have a slight headache. I normally get headaches from been up all day, so I don't know if it's from me being tired.....or if I have a concussion.

It's 11:33 pm, so all the doctors offices are closed. My husband is TDY so I'm alone, and I don't exactly want to drive myself to the hopsital to get checked since it's almost an hour away - and I'm not comfortable driving at night....and it's really unneccessary to require an ambulance.

Would it be okay to wait until morning to see a doctor?

most likly yes
it doesnt even have to be a concussion even but it very well could be
if i get one i usually just wait atleast 2 hrs before i sleep
if u go to sleep right away blood could pool in the back of your head
but ive had one and was out face down for 20 minutes with no problems
get it checked as soon as you can but you should be alright for now

wait a few hours if its worse call and ambulance or a friend that has medical experience and see what they say i dont matter what time i could be seriouse
hope you feel beter
