Concussions range in severity from mild to severe, but they all share one common factor — they temporarily interfere with the way your brain works. They can affect memory, judgment, reflexes, speech, balance and coordination.
Concussions are common, particularly if you play a contact sport like football. But every concussion, no matter how mild, injures your brain. This injury needs time and rest to heal properly. Luckily, most concussions are mild and people usually recover fully.
While most concussions get better on their own, some blows to the head can cause more serious injuries. You should seek medical advice if you have any of the following symptoms:
Prolonged headache or dizziness
Vision disturbances
Nausea or vomiting
Impaired balance
Prolonged memory loss
Ringing in the ears
Loss of smell or taste
Any child who has lost consciousness after a blow to the head should be seen by a doctor. Other warning signs of a potentially serious injury include persistent vomiting, seizures or a large bruise on the scalp. In general, a bruise on the front of the head is less dangerous than one on the side or back of the head.

You could be injured seriously. Go to a neighbor's house and call 911. Oh - I know along with the other stuff, you are locked in and chained to the bed.

Then go to the ER.
Call 911.
I can't believe you didn't do that, but instead went to all the trouble to come here for the answer.

You need to get to a phone or an adult. Go to the neighbors if no one at home will help.
Good luck honey.

Sounds like you should get to the hospital right away! Concussion, maybe?
