What Does My CT Scan Test Report Indicate?

Subdural bleeding could be life threatening.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
If head CT showed subdural bleeding, hitting your head didn't result in concussion, it was a TBI ( traumatic brain injury).
Subdural bleeding/hematoma usually results from broken vessels between brain and its coverings, it is a potential life threatening condition if not treated correctly.
There is need for a close follow up of your neurologic status and periodic brain imaging ( CT scan ).
If significant growth of subdural hematoma over time, or development of new neurologic symptoms ( hemiparesis, difficulty speaking and interact with others, decreased consciousness ), surgical evacuation of hematoma is needed.
In my opinion, traveling should be cancelled and follow up with a Neurosurgeon and head CT ( if no neurologic changes, after two weeks) is needed.
Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Take care.
