Suggest Remedy For Headaches And Fogginess After Suffering A Head Injury

Question: Hi, approximately 72 hours ago I fell and hit my head while very intoxicated. I'm a 30 year old male otherwise healthy male. I was taken to the emergency room where about 10 staples were used to suture the laceration, and also had a catscan that turned up negative. The laceration is about 3 inches above me right ear running down my partline. Some of the nurses thought my pupils were different sizes and I might have a concussion but I was released into my own care after 4 hours or so at the hospital.

The next day, I slept most of the day and assumed my fogginess was from a severe hangover. However, today I still felt slightly foggy and out of it, and had intermittent headaches around my right ear, so I went to a good urgent care clinic and they tested my reactions and facial nerves, which they said were fine. I still feel like the entire right side of my head aches (not just the laceration), and my feeling is slightly of as well as intermittent eyelid twitching, although that happens when I get fatigued. I'm not sure about my memory and conducted a full day of work without incident, but again still am not sure if I'm just imagining it or if I'm still foggy.

I'm very freaked out that I could have a slow bleed hematoma or something worse; it is hard for me to compare how I felt at time of the injury because I was so intoxicated I dont't remember anything immediately before or until 10-15 minutes after. Do you recommend seeing a neurologist immediately, or going with the urgent care suggestion of monitoring myself and just taking it easy? Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I'm confused because you said you believe the description rules out internal bleed, but then suggest another CT scan? Why should get another one if you feel the possibility is ruled out?I

Okay, thank you for clarifying, I understand. A CT was taken and came badk negative immediately after the accident. I read some studies online about MRIs potentially revealing damage 1-2 weeks post-accident that immediate CT scans do not. Do you recommend getting an MRI mext week or is that unneccesary?

Okay, thank you. My last question is do you see any possibility of ongoing cognitive fogginess/slowness given I've felt as such the past two days? Thank you for your help and I'll of course rate the thread after this.
