What Causes Lethargy And Fuzziness In Head After Getting Hit On Head?

I hit my head on a steel fence post last week and had to have two stitches. I was told the cut went to the bone. Since then I feel like I have no energy and at times my head feels fuzzy or like there is fluttering movements inside my head. I don t want to see a doctor if it is not necessary. So what could this feeling I am having be?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Since you had ahead injury and still having fuzziness, it will help to get a brain scan if not done earlier. Please consult your doctors explaining your symptoms in details and ask for a scan if you can get one. Since you had to get two stitches, the wound might have been significant and there can be occasional confusion and fuzziness even with a slight head injury. If your scan is normal and your symptoms persist then you are having concussion injury. This takes time over a few weeks to recover completely. Please do not worry.
