What To Do If Having Knot On Head, Black Eye, Tingling In Arms After Hitting Head?

My mother in law passed out yesterday when she stood up and hit her head on the bathroom counter. She has a black eye and a knot on her head. She is complaining of tingling on the inside of both her lower arms. This happened yesterday and the tingling was immediate and she says it s not as intense today. Is she ok waiting to get it checked out or does she need to go now and get it looked at?

swelling and black eye-can be treated by cold compression. tingling sensation in both arm appears to be neurological but as it is improving and deterioration itmay be concusion without any brain injury. So you can wait and observe the progress.
