Head Injury Leading to Many Panic-filled Nights

Posted , 4 users are following.

As of 03/03/2020, it would be a week since I had hit the right side of my temple against the top of my car's door frame. During the hit, I was a little stunned and hurt, but remembered everything. Over time, it has developed into this headache that feels more like cotton or uncomfortableness that moves from side to side over over my whole head. Every so often, there is a sharp pain on the right side, sometimes strong enough to stop my movements or speaking. I panic easily with health conditions, so I tend to overthinking it during the night. On Friday or Saturday, I vegan taking Motrin or Tylenol to soothe the pain, with ample water intake (sometimes coffee). I naturally don't eat many meals a day. I find sometimes the pain eases, sometimes it doesn't. The worst pain/discomfort comes after I've consciously been feeling the pain and seen if it's worsened. I'm not sure if it's worth going to a doctor still or just continuing my routine, but I'd like some comfort to stop me from sleeping at 3AM instead of my needed 9PM.

    If it is causing you anxiety, go and see your doctor. If it something, they can follow it up, or otherwise they can reassure you that you are okay.

    Any head injury that develops into a headache should be seen by a professional. It could be something very simple ...something like a whiplash injury, but worth getting checked out.
