Answers:
This is definitely a concussion at least IMO!. You're supposed to go to the ER if you've got symptoms like this so they can make sure you don't actually have a brain bleed or skull fracture!. That type of injury can make you ill very quickly like while you're asleep!?

Anyway if you won't go to ER, get someone who will call you in the AM and make sure you're alright and not acting weird/brain damaged at least OK!? And make sure you sleep on your side tonight because sometimes you can throw up in your sleep or while sort of unconscious from head injuries!.

For now I guess ice, lie down and don't get up if you can avoid it, I'm not sure if this is the real recommendation but I'd stay away from aspirin as a pain killer because it thins your blood!. Also ibuprofen (advil)!. Take tylenol if you take anything!. But if you were my friend/relative I'd make you go to the doctor now!.

eta- meant Advil also thins your blood, might be a bad idea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i wouldnt be able to tell you if you have a concusion!. but what helps me is taking a warm, really warm shower, then just go lay on the couch with some source of heatsource(furnace, heater,etc) and cover up with a blanket!. then surrond yourself with pillows and just relax!. lol!. this sounds so gay!. but if major pain devolps call 911Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do not go to sleep if you think you might have concussion !. Drink some chocolate milk it will help to keep you awake!. Also if you someone to talk to that would be good!. Take care of your self!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like it and you should go to the hospital now!. Or try to stay awake till you go to the doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
