Should I Be Worried About The Weird Feeling In Head After Hitting?

I fell off my bike today and hit my head on the concrete. I quickly got up in panic.my head doesn t hurt but it feels weird to be laying down or to bend down to get something. I also scrapped my arm,but my head is the one I am worried about. Should I require medical attention ?

Hi,
Though it is highly advised to get evaluated at centre of emergency practices, if something like this happens, for observations and assessment. I need you to evaluate yourselves, is there bleeding, swelling or any sort of change in other part of head. If no, you can rather ask some companion to observe you, while some analgesic (paracetamol) can be taken for pain control.
Observations are needed for signs like change in conscious level, seizures repeated vomiting, bleeding or discharge for orifices ( like nose, ears), these all would need abrupt evaluation and admission at hospital, as they are present with some deep brain or skull injuries, needing abrupt treatment.

I find this answer helpful
