So last night I went for an almighty crash down the stairs, and I hit my head quite badly on the back of the sofa. Ever since then I have had this really bad headache which wont go away even with Paracetamol, concentrating around my eyes. Is this connected and should I go and see a doctor about it? Or should I just wait it out?
I spoke to a doctor on the phone, he said I have a mild concussion, and to take it easy for a few weeks, doctors orders.
Yeah.. you should take that advice. The last time I went in for a concussion, i was just told not to do anything active for a week or two. and I was told I shouldn't have gone in since it was mild and I didn't fully pass out. Theres also a chanse you could have whiplash if you jerked your head hard enough
The only symptom I have is a thumper of a headache. And I still have to play my piccolo for a concert this weekend.No rest for the wicked I guess.
If things don't clear up, you will want to get it checked out for sure though. Just in case there was more damage than a concussion.
And hopefully he told you that if your headache worsens or if you develop other symptoms like vomiting, then you should go to the emergency room.
