Concussion

[queenofmean]

After returning home last night VERY sober. I was bending down to take my boots off and I noticed a mark on the wall and I moved and hit my head on the wooden desk right in front of me. A short while later I dropped my glucose meter down the side of my bed and hit my head again.

When I woke this morning my eyes were sore, head a little tender to the touch, no obvious markings. Now I’m aware of a slight headache. Have I got a slight concussion?

Have a read of this, queenie. Hope you get well soon.

It's possible, you just need to check for odd symptoms - vision issues, vomiting, unexplained sleepiness.

It's more likely to be alcohol withdrawal symptoms, isn't it? ;-)

Seriously though, a slight headache (without dizziness, nausea or any of the other symptoms of concussion) isn't likely to be anything to worry about.

Doesn't sound like it. If you are coordinated enough to post you are probably fine. The headache is more likely a bit of scalp tension around a bruise

Thank you all.

Vision is ok (for once) sugars normal (yippee) no nausea - after a week of that I’m relieved and no difference in the sleep department. However I slept ALL last night which is unusual for me.

Chris I haven’t had a drink in 8 years.

I’m co-ordinated up the top end Rowan...the bottom half not so sure. I fall over things that aren’t there and I can’t walk right.

The worst bit is the area from the first knock - it’s a bit tender but as you say maybe a bit of bruising some where.

Will keep an eye on things though but if I’m ok I’m ok :)
