Posted on Wed, 5 Mar 2014
Question: Good day, this past Saturday afternoon I got hit in the head by a hockey puck. I didn't think much of it at the time, yes it did hurt and left a bump on my head. There was no blood or bruising. The next day (Sunday) morning I woke up with a headache, and a bit dizzy, and also feeling nauseous, and ears are ringing. Could this be a concussion? Is it worth a visit to a GP? Regards, XXXX
