Hi, I hit my head last night when I was trying to get up from sitting on the floor.I hit my head right where my neck and skull meet so maybe the brain s tr em area. It didn t hurt after the initial pain but it has really been bothering me tonight. Slight head ache and seems kinda hot. Not to the touch but I feel it

Hi dear user of HCM!
Thank you for your question!

I read your query carefully and understood your concerns!
It seems you have a contraction or little edema (inflammation of your muscles behind the neck and head.
It's a response to the hit you had.

If you have not any other symptoms but just that light pain and hot feeling I would recommend you to take anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen 3 to 4 times a day to remove the pain and muscle edema.

If you have other symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, severe headache, vision problems, etc, you better go to the ER and see a neurologist.

I hope you will get better soon!
Best regards!
DR ERIOL.
