Bad anxiety after banging my head. Pls help.

Posted , 5 users are following.

. Im looking for reassurance if anybody can help. 5 days ago i walked into a door. And hit my forehead and nose. It was quite a hard bang. So painful. I got a bump and a little bruise and theres a little bump still there and its sore to touch. I suffer bad with anxiety and i dont know if im over reacting or what but im going out of my mind with worry. Worrying about bleeding in brain and if im going to die. I know that sounds stupid But i cant help but worry. I didnt loose conciousness or anything just its a sore bump and im scared. Thanks for any help

    you you will definitely be okay, I actually have had a couple of instances where I hit my head and I actually went to the ER because I was so afraid of the same thing and they told me that as long as I'm not showing any neurological signs within the first 48 hours then I I actually have had a couple of instances where I hit my head and I actually went to the ER because I was so afraid of the same thing and they told me that as long as I'm not showing any neurological signs within the first 48 hours then I am ok. there are things that you can do to make sure that you were okay like checking your pupils to see if they dilate and your balance and things like that also the doctor told me that your forehead is the best thing to hit out of your head because it's all just bone

    Aslong as you do not lose consciousness and your vision is normal, you are eating without vomiting, wait for a couple of weeks and see how you feel then. You are right to be concerned because any bang to the head has to be watched carefully. Look after yourself and try to get full nights sleeps and you may find your injury disappears soon.
