I'd had a slight sinus infection this week, but today I hadn't took my antibiotics for it as I did the past 2 days. Last night, I'd hit my head on a car door. I've been feeling sick today, like right now, my vision is blurry, and I had a horrible headache, my teeth were aching, and I was naseous. I'm also abnormally tired. Is it possible I might have a concussion, or might these symptoms be from lack of treating my sinus infection? I'm a bit worried, as I've read concussions are something you can't ignore.

It may be a combination of both symptons.........Go to the ER NOW they will do what is called a Cat scan....to see if there is any bleeding in your brain or if you have a fractured skull....unfortuanley there isn't anything any one can do for a concussion.....you sould also restart your sinus medication and make sure you finish the whole course of treatment (usually 10-14 days of antibiotics)...some people feel better after a few days and stop their antibiotics....then it comes back even worse(becuase it never really was cured)
Good luck!

with the symptoms that you were saying sounds more like a neck injury then a concussion... if it were only a concussion the doctor would just tell you to take it easy and give you some uneccesary drugs that you could take from home... but it sounds more like a neck injury then anything and i would go to the er and get checked out... the neck injury is more severe then a concussion...

I think you have a concussion. Ive gotten three and im only 13. You shouldn't ignore concussions can be very serious. If your syptoms continue tomarrow go to the doctor asap.

You need to go to the E.R. for possible concussive state. Sinuses can mimic these symptoms, but they will need to check you for any neurological deficits.

Very possible, I would go to the ER at once, better to be safe than sorry. Good Luck!

I think that either way you need to get to see a doctor ASAP. If that means going to the ER then you need to go NOW!

Have you considered seeing a doctor? That sounds like a plan.
