concussion?

Posted by AMD on October 21, 2005, at 13:51:56

Folks,

I'm freaking out that I may have suffered a concussion during one of my drinking bouts. I was blacked out, so I don't know. I'm just worried that maybe I passed out.

Would damage from this be permanent? Would I have felt a bruise on my head if a bump had occurred? There were no scratches and only a minor soreness on the right-hand side that went away quickly.

I'm concerned that I may have done permanent damage to my brain because I've been feeling spaced-out and more tired than usual. Do I sound like I'm being ridiculous?

Ow! I slammed my head today at the gym, and now there's a lump on my skull. It's sensitive to touch. I have a mild heacache too. Do you think I got a concussion? I didn't lose consciousness or get dazed really, but my head hurt so I sat down for a second. Seem to be OK now, but I'm worried I might experience some latent symptoms tomorrow. Should I relax or go to the hospital?
