Concussion from yesterday?!


Question: hii. so i live right across the street from a grocery store and me and my friends were there last night around 7 and got a lot of stuff so we decided to bring the cart back to my house then bring it back later...so...i was sitting in the cart and my friend was pushing it down the road and it tipped....
i fell on my head and scratched my back up pretty badly...but its not that bad. i didnt tell my parents cus my friend felt REALLY bad about it. so this morning when im just sitting it feels like a weight on the back of my head and when something is touching it it hurts pretty badly...should i tell my parents that i just fell on the street last night and it just started hurting really bad this morning? (it hurt last night, but then it was mostly the cuts i got, i cried from like shock...but not head pain, now it hurts)
im feeling a little more lightheaded then usual and i was just wondering if i should go to the hospital or what else? by the way, im 14 years old..incase that helps. THANKS

Yes tell your parents and get to the hospital. Concussions are very serious - you could have minor bleeding in your brain (especially because you're lightheaded). Your parents won't be angry with you, they'll be happy that you told them and that they can get you medical help - just to be sure.

Definately get it checked out.

head injuries are really dangerous... I think you should tell your parents it was all an accident and in good fun because there could be something seriously wrong. Then again, it could just be a bump as well. but I would deffinatly get that checked out!
