I bumped my right side of forehead on top of the car real hard. After 5 mins, I was fine....I did not have any symptoms or lose consciousness. Either 1 or 2 wks later, I touched where I hit my forehead and it really hurt. Now I have major headaches or migraine on that area where I bumped my head ...Is it related?
I read your question carefully and understand your concern!
Your symptoms may be related to the trauma or a temporary dysfunction in this part of the brain after the trauma.
It is normal sometimes to have a hypersensitive region to the touch in the place of the injury. It may be caused by the compression of the soft tissues and the small nerves which innervate this area.
I recommend you consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination for neurological signs, a routine blood test for inflammation.
If all the above mentioned tests result normal, I would recommend you starting therapy with an antidepressant like amyriptiline or SSRI class which would really help with your headaches.
Hope to have been of help!
Greeting! Dr. Aida

Suggest Treatment For Headache And Migraine
Hello! I read your question carefully and understand your concern! Your symptoms may be related to the trauma or a temporary dysfunction in this part of the brain after the trauma. It is normal sometimes to have a hypersensitive region to the touch in the place of the injury. It may be caused by the compression of the soft tissues and the small nerves which innervate this area. I recommend you consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination for neurological signs, a routine blood test for inflammation. A brain CT scan may be necessary to exclude a possible delayed intracranial hemorrhage. If all the above mentioned tests result normal, I would recommend you starting therapy with an antidepressant like amyriptiline or SSRI class which would really help with your headaches.
