What Causes Sharp Pain In Forehead Region While Swimming After Head Injury?

Hi I hit my head very hard on the bottom of the pool and shortly after, whenever I would go even just a few feet under that water I would feel a extremely sharp pain behind my eyebrow/forehead region. I have always loved swimming and have never felt this sensation. It isn t the normal pressure from depth I am feel, it is much worse. I am worried that it is linked to hitting my head. Is that a possibility? The pain is very severe, so severe that I cannot bear to go under water.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
It definitely is linked to the hitting your head with the pool. It may have cause some injury of head that needs to be evaluated by a CT/MRI of the head.

You need to fix an appointment with a Neurosurgeon for evaluation and treatment if needed.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
