Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell off my bed and hit the back of my head really hard, I have a very slight headache but other than that I feel fine. No dilated pupils, no nausea, no dizziness and I can walk a straight line. I am just afraid to take a nap of fear of a coma. All this happened at around 6:30pm. it's now 8:00pm am I okay to sleep
Hello and Welcome, Head injury do calls in for an alarm., but since all your vitals are normal and you are fully conscious i suppose the injury is only external. Do take care of your external skin breaching injuries. If you have a companion you can sleep under his supervision. If still you are quite troubled do visit a doctor for proper examination to be carried out.
