Should I Be Concerned About The Bleeding In The Nose And Headaches After A Fall?

Hi, I fell and hit the right hand side of my head, early hours on saturday morning. Since then, my head in that area has been awfully sore, with a numb sensation and tingling when touched. Also all day Sunday I had blood in my mucus and have felt groggy and tired since, and have a slight headache still. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Thanks

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding fall from an height followed by headache and bleeding from nose.

As you said that still after 24 hours you are haing weired feeling and slight headache on right side of head and some bleeding from nose. No doubt all these are consequences of injury over head and about 24 hours are being passed so life threatening period is being over. But you are not symptoms free and there had occured nose bleed so precautionary nurological and ENT conultation is must to avoid further complications.

Regards.
