What Could Be The Lump On The Head After Hitting? CT Scan Is Normal.

I blacked out and hit my head I think on the counter top lump very large, hand size, after 10 days there is still a lump but it is smaller. The bruising (or hurt to touch) area has gotten smaller as well, but it's all still there. They did a CT Scan at hospital about an hour after it happened, said they didn't see anything of any concern and sent me home. I also threw up that whole day and evening. I don't remember the fall at all and no one saw me fall. Should I be checked out again?

Hi.
Yes , Absolutely yes- as your scan was done immediately.
A repeat scan is a must because you do not remember what happened and there is history of vomiting.
A large lump you are taking about can be due to a local hematoma formation.
