Is Headache After An Injury A Sign Of Something Serious?
31 year old female with no know health problems. Standing in yard where large dig was on a long chain. The chain was behind her feet. When the dog ran, the chain pulled her at the back of the legs causing her to fall on her back and the back of her head. This was yesterday around 5:30pm central time. Today complaining of throbbing pain in back and right side of head. No nausea, pupils appear equal. Never lost consiousness. Is this head pain normal or should she go to the ER for head imaging?
