If you hit your head pretty hard you probably do. Do you remember details from when it happened?
You probably do have a concussion. I hada really bad concussion when i went skiing and i was knocked out after it, i was driven to the hosp. in an ambulance. Since you remember most of your accident, you proabably have a minor concussion.
After concussions you are very light sensitive. The computer screen light is hurting your eyes.
If your pain doesn't lessen by the next two days go to your doctor and get a prescription for a pain pill. I took a medicine (prescription) called Tylenol with Codeine that was one of the only pqain pills that did not make me sleepy and dizzy + it made me able to sit at the computer.
Hope I helped!
Hope you feel better!!!!!

You should probably try calling in to the doctor first so you don't waste money on a visit if there isn't anything seriously wrong.
U probably should try to drink more fluids and stay offa the computer. I think sleep is also a good idea. Um and about ur sister is she having any similar symptoms?
If the symptoms do not go away soon, then u may want to make a visit to the doctor, but there isn't much he would do for you besides what u have already done. Hopefully it isn't anything serious.
good luck

i would go to the doctor and have an mri done, a cat scan isnt as good. if you bumped your head really hard you could have internal swelling which is causing your headaches. with your symptoms i would not take any chances, i would consult a doctor before anything serious happens. and maybe your just fine too, but better to be on the safe side.

You do need to see a doctor.Being dizzy, naseaus, and a bad headache are all signs of a concussion.It takes a concussion at least a couple weeks to go away completely, because basically your brain slammed against your skull and is bruised, so I would see a doctor soon.

i've been concussed a couple of times and that sounds like the symptoms. better go to the doc as a precaution.

Since the headache is still there you should at least call your docs office and talk to his nurse and she will get back to as to what the doc wants you to do.

Seek medical attention. An injury to your cranium is not to be taken lightly.
