Can Cabin Pressure Cause Any Harm After Sustaining A Head Injury?
I fell over a curb earlier today and hit my head on the running board of a tour bus I was getting in. I have a dent about 1/2 round in my head about three finger widths above my left temple. I have always heard a dent is worse than a bump. I was not knocked out but fell pretty hard. Do I have anything to worry about and also I fly home tomorrow about a three and a half hour flight. Is there any concern with the cabin pressure?

Hello,
Cabin pressure and air travel do not harm your present conditions.
It could be a minor contusion only.
You can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
