Is A Bang On The Head Be A Matter Of Concern?

I was drunk the other night and banged my head pretty hard no bruising or cuts but the place I banged it has kind of a numb feeling also when I flex my right eyebrow muscle I feel a tightness in the area I hit. The part I banged hurt for the first few days but doesn t hurt anymore and I didn t see a doctor for any of this thinking it would just go away

Hi welcome to HCM.
Any head injury has to be carefully evaluated especially under alcohol influence. Few head injuries can have delayed effects particularly extradural hematomas. Hence it is pretty important to have a non contrast CT scan of your brain to rule out any intra cerebral trauma. I also advise you to look for any symptoms of unprovoked vomiting and persistent or worsening headache. The numb feeling tightness should lowly resolve in the absence of significant internal trauma. Consult an ophthalmologist in case of any visual disturbances noted. Visit your neurosurgeon for further assistance.
Thank you.
