What to do when you fall down the stairs?!

Question: What to do when you fall down the stairs?

I fell down the stairs today, I hurt my legs and my bum really badly, I fainted and I may have hit my head. It hurts to obviously sit down and walk, but I've been getting bad head aches, nausea, I can't remember what I did yesterday or the day before and every time I get up I see spots. My friend thinks I might have a concussion. Should I go to the doctors?

Any time you have any kind of accident and lose consciousness you need to see the doctor. Head injuries tend to be the sneaky killers. You may have just a mild headache but there could be bleeding inside the brain. Always see the doctor.

You say "may have hit my head" if you hit your head you would have a lump and it would be sore so surely you know whether you bumped it or not? You may just be shook up from the tumble.

That said nausea and headaches are not good so it would be best to get yourself checked out if you are concerned.

Yes.

Remember Billy Maze? The TV sales person. He died after having head trauma and ignoring similar symptoms... There could be internal bleeding... This can kill quite easily.

LAUGH.
