Is Pressure On Side Of Head After Bumping Head On Shelf Serious?
Yesterday at work, I bumped my head on a shelf. I work at a shoe store, and was bending down to get some shoes. When I got back up, I bumped my head on a shelf. It hurt pretty badly. Afterwards, I was a little slow but continued work. I feel pressure on the area that it hit, and the side of my head has a lot of pressure. Should I be worried?
