Experiencing Short Of Breath, Little Spots On Head After Hitting Head. Should I Go To ER?

I hit my head, it did not hurt BUT it felt really really weird at first, all over my brain, then just in little spots here and there on my head, then after less than a minute the weird feeling went away but I was really short of breath and still kind of am short of breath. Should I go to the ER? I'm also a little light headed. This happened maybe 30 minutes ago.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this head trauma. From the information you have provided, there are no red flags that warrant an ER visit right now. However, if symptoms should worsen with sever headache, poor vision and excessive sleep, please go to the hospital as this may represent a possible brain bleed.
Tylenol would help relief the pains and make you feel good.

I hope you find this helpful and it addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
