Hello. Literally Just Happened To Me. I Was Squatting Near

default
Posted on Sun, 29 Dec 2019
Question: Hello. Literally just happened to me. I was squatting near my toilet because i thought i was going to throw up. I started to get light headed and passed out (while throwing up) and hit my head against the wall. I only hit my right temple and it was on a smooth wall. Maybe like a foot of space between me and said wall. This all happened in like the span of 5 minutes? I just want to know if i have a concussion or not. I dont feel confused or anything, just my head hurting. Thanks!

Brief Answer:
There is no concussion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query.

As a Neurosurgeon I see a lot of cases similar to yours in my practice.

Since the passing out and vomitng happened before you hit the head, there is no concussion or brain damage.

Just headaches are justified in your case.

Rest for at least few hours and stay well hydrated.

If you notice any new symptoms (worsening headaches, new episodes of vomitng, etc.) you should see your Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
