Nose Bleeds, Vomiting, Speech Slurry After Bump On Head. Tried Anti-inflammatory For Pain. Should I Be Worried ?

I hit my head on Sunday afternoon and immediately fell asleep and took a good 10mins to be woken! I have had too nose bleeds since and have vomited on two occasions! At times I feel my speak has been slightly slurred! Now when I touch the bump on my head I feel really faint and sick. I have been taking a anti inflammation drug as well as co coda mol for the pain. Should I visit my local gp! Doctor are very expensive should I be worried

Hi
YOU MUST SEE A DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. You have every reason to WORRY. Your description may mean intra-cranial injury.
A bump is less of a problem than others - there are some serious leads...
Your 'sleep' could have been loss of consciousness!?
Bleeding from the nose - nose may just be the exit point; bleeding may come from higher up - say brain injury.
Feeling 'faint and sick' - could also mean pressure inside skull may be increased. Codeine (co-coda) can cause drowsiness and confuse the issue.
So is slurring of speech
It is dangerous - risky - to 'wait and see'. You need to see a neurologist and have CT scan to exclude brain injury. I am sorry to this - but it is better to be safe than sorry. Don't delay

Take care
Good luck
