Sharp Pain With Heaviness After Head Hitting Hard On Cabinet. When To Seek Medical Attention?
Hello. On Wednesday afternoon I hit the top of my head hard on a metal AED cabinet with rounded edges after relocating a basket under it then lifting my head up (I didn't see the cabinet - I wear glasses and it was a poorly lit area). The pain was very sharp and I applied an ice pack and took paracetomol. The pain was consistent with a feeling of heaviness spreading over the top on my head. I still have pain in my head and it still feels heavy on top. I have Menieres so it is difficult to know whether my 'dizziness' is associated with my injury or my existent medical condition. I am finding I am needing to concentrate harder when writing and speaking. How long should I wait before seeking medical attention? I live alone.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern, head injury should be watched for 48 hours, because any thing could happened within this hours, if nothing happened like vomiting, weakness, convulsion, then no need to worry and you feel something like this then it needs immediate medical attention, I hope you this would be helpful to you take and have nice day.
