Headache, Nausea After Head Being Hit. Chances Of A Concussion?
I accidently bumped heads really hard with my best friend, i got hit mainly on my brow bone and it only hurt for a short while then i just got a bump and a little bruise . I do have a headache and some nausea but i think its just from my anxiety acting up from being worried over this, I m REALLY scared i have a concussion . I didn t black out and im not confused or dizzy, i just have a slight headache and some pressure where i got bumped. Do you think i m okay? my dad thinks i m fine but i need some reassurance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, let me reassure you that your symptoms do not point to concussion or any other serious head injury.
Mild headache, dizziness and nausea may occur after mild head injury too.
Right now, there is no need to worry and you would be fine soon.
Wishing you good health,
