Hi,

It's always better to be safer, get the person examined. Usually if in case there is any intracranial bleed, there can be symptoms like headache, vomiting, nausea, unconscious, seizures etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Raju A. T., General & Family Physician
