What Causes Pressure Behind The Ears After A Head Injury?
Solid wood bread box fell on front of my head yesterday afternoon causing small laceration about 1 1/2 inches long. Bleeding stopped after applying pressure and I did not seek medical attention as the laceration wasn t that deep. Did not cause headache, and I slept fine. However today I feel pressure behind both ears. Is that a sign of a concussion, or anything i should be concerned with. I have no other symptoms. Laceration is at hair line just left of center.
