Hurt With A Metal Bar On Head. Nauseous And Dent In Skull. No Other Specific Symptoms. Consult Doctor?
I was playing on a swing set with my son and I raised up and hit my head on a metal bar. I felt like I was going to black out but did not. I was nauseous for an hour or more after. This was back in July. I have a very large dent in my skull on the top of my head. I do not think I have had any symptoms since. Do I need to get this checked out.
Welcome to HCM. There was a soft tissue injury and nausea is usually due to concussion of the brain.It persists some time and gradually recovers according to severity of injury. Sometime even it doesn't require any treatment. In case of persistent symptoms,investigations is required. If you have nausea,headache then consult your family physician for further guidance.
