Headaches with head wound

About a week ago i had a meta object fall on my head from a height.. It was a fleshy dent about half an inch deep. It didn't bleed much but I had to have stitches as it was too long for glue. It's been over a week now and I feel pressure on my head and I went back to the gym today.. It felt like my head was pressurised so I had to stop. I'm having the stitches out tomorrow so I don't know if it'll change anything.

I'd appreciate any advice!

    I bet that hurt, it's probably because it will be getting tighter as it heals, did they x-ray it for you, I would tell them tomorrow and let them check it out, I'm sure it's fine but always best to ask.

    Have you tried some ice on it

      Thanks for your reply! You're probably right.. It might be better when they come out! They didn't x ray it so it can't have been a worry I guess! Just one to keep an eye on I suppose x

      Yes but definitely ask them to check it for you, they should have x-rayed it for you

    Hey that sounds like it hurt, my initial thought pertains to traumatic head injuries. Were you screened for a TBI (traumatic brain injury) or a concussion?
