head bump

I fell three weeks ago and got a nasty bump on the back of my head, I didn't pass out or vomit and the bump had gone down a lot. but the last couple of days my head where i hurt is stinging and I feel dizzy, I suffer with vertigo anyway but was wondering if this stinging is normal after three weeks, any advice please as I suffer with anxiety and this is not helping

Hi,

You need to get this checked out for sure.

If you are feeling dizzy then without doubt go see you dr.  I had something similar happen to me and I ended up with the whole of the left side of my body going weak.  Dont wait any longer.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Best wishes and take care

now I'm really scared, surly if it was anything serious it would have shown up by now

I am not trying to scare you, just help and advise you.  Do you have other symptoms?

no, sorry but i suffer really bad with panic attacks and anxiey and this is really affecting me

Its ok yammy.  But tomorrow just to be on the safe side go see your dr.  Try to keep calm and tell him all the symptoms and what happened. Best wishes and take care.

Let us know how you get on please

Hi yummy, it's almost certainly nothing to worry about. The fact that your head pains is in the same place that you bumped will, most likely, be a coincidence. If it puts your mind at ease, which it very well could, get it checked out.

With regards to your anxiety, it might be helpful if you look towards finding some coping strategies, relaxation techniques or, perhaps some forms of counselling. I hope you feel well again soon

went to doctor this morning, she checked me out and is happy that there is no major damage. she said I have fluid in my right ear which could be causing virtigo so gave me a prescription, so hopefully this will work soon, 

Hi Yammy,

Glad nothing serious going on! Hope the ear is soon better. Come on any time if you have something you want to share, we will always reply.

Take care and best wishes

THANK YOU
