Head Hurt. No Bleeding Or Nausea. Sore And Tender. Prescribed Seroqeul For Anxiety. Continue Medicines?
I was bending and reaching for something out of the fridge and I stood up fast and hit the back of the right side of my head hard on the freezer handle. The pointed corner of the handle struck me. This was about nine hours ago. No bleeding or nausea but the area is very sore and tender. Do I need to worry about a concussion? Also I was perscribed 25mg of seroqeul to help me sleepand for anxiety each night. Is it OK to take a sleeping pill after you hit your head really hard?
Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Head trauma resulting from hitting or sporting events is a common thing but few bumps on the head of this nature result in serious injury.
The scalp has an abundant blood supply and injury to forehead often results in bleeding under the skin. When the bleeding is restricted to one area, it causes bruising and swelling.known as a hematoma.Even a minor head bump can cause a large swelling.
Since except tenedrness no new symptom so this bruise seems to be minor injury.However if any new symptom like headache,vomiting,disorientation develops then you must see your doctor. You must avoid a sleeping pill today.
hope this will help you!take care
