Is it possible I have a concussion?

Answer 1

(I ment do I have a concussion)

I was making a video and I bent down and stood up rely fast and hit my head on this thick tree branch. I heard some crumbling noise from my head, I was not bleeding, and I fell on the floor and cried. It felt like it was in slow motion and I had trouble remembering what I was making the video about and also I play piano, so I forgot some parts to the songs. I think I blacked out for a little bit, my friends walked away so I am not sure. Also about 30 minutes after I got a horrible headache. Then 30 minutes after that I felt rely nauseated and still had a headache. My mom is not to concerned about it but I am. I do not know if I should go to sleep tonight. Please answer this quickly. Thanks

Oh and Im a 15 year old girl if that helps...

if you throw up or feel sick or dizzy or whoozy go see a doctor immidietly and tell them you hit your head. dont go to sleep for several hours so that if you do start feeling sick you can go to hospital without delay. however there is no need for panic chances are you're fine its just not worth the risk.

Answer 4

most likely. a cuncussion is a bruise on the brain and will cause a headache, so yeah you have a concussion. if it is minor, you're fine, but if its a splitting headache, then you need to see a doctor.

Answer 5

I'm on vacation so I can't see a doctor. I hit the back of my head, just above my neck on wood. I felt slightly off for 10 minutes, but would assume I was functioning normally since I was texting fine. About 5 hours later I got a slight head ache on the side I hit my head, front and back. . I've had no other symptoms of a concussion. It doesn't hurt to touch where I hit my head. My headache has been on and off, moving from back to front or in both spots, going away in the morning, but coming back as I wake up. It barely hurts, but has gotten slightly worse and better again. I tend to worry a lot and wanted opinions on whether I should see a doctor , considering I I would get a bill that I can't afford.
