Worried after banging head

hi everyone

first of all a little background, I suffer quite bad with anxiety, I always think worse and I am my own worse enemy for googling symptoms.

okay so this evening I went to my sister's to help my bro-inlaw to get an old fridge freezer out the back garden shed.

Whilst standing in the doorway of the shed I stepped back and cracked the top of my head (slighty top right) on the corner of a piece of wood, it bloody hurt!

anyway once we has finished getting fridge out and carried into house and sat down I felt a bit strange and was worrying in case i had bleeding on brain. I googled about head injuries and read about being concerned if you have dizziness, nausea, headache ect which at the time I didn't but it's now 3 hrs later and I am in bed and I feel strange and also my left hand has mild pins and needles sensation and also I have no bump where I hit my head but it hurts to touch and also I am very aware of my breathing if that makes sense.

my anxiety is going into melt down that I have caused internal bleeding on the brain.

and I don't know if my symptoms are because of the bang to the head or if my anxiety is causing them.

I just need some advice or reassurance.

thanks

    Hi I'm really sorry that you have bumped your head but worse still I'm sorry that it's triggered your HA to such a point you have stepped from a bump on your head that if it was a really bad bump it would have knocked you out to a serious injury that's possibly cause a bleed on the brain.

    I don't think you have anything half as bad but your mind does, what you need is reassuring so possibly if your in UK then ring 111 and explain how you are and they should hopefully make you realize its ok
