What Could Cause A Lump At The Back Of Head And Stiffness In Neck?

Hello, I feel like I have been punched in the upper stomach area and lower abdomen. Does this sound like a stomach bug/virus? Alos, this may be unrelated but I slipped on a wet floor a few days ago and banged my head. It s very painful and I have a big bump but I can t see ti because it is at the back of my head. I feel very sick and have a stiff neck and loss of appetite. Could the two be related? Many thanks for your time.

Hello !
Thank you for your question ! I understand your concern .
Short Answer : I think you should have a neurological examination by a medical physician and a brain CT scan as soon as possible.
Detailed answer : I think that the troubles with your stomach and your lower abdomen are related to the head trauma you have had few days ago.
You should immediately see a doctor , have a full physical examination for neurological signs. A brain CT scan is necessary to exclude a post traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, which could cause all your symptoms .
Wish to have been helpful!
