Why Am I Experiencing Concussion Symptoms And Dizziness After Hitting My Head?

Hello Doc.... ummmm, I wiped out 4 days ago on the ice, flipped right back and smacked the back of my head... felt like I crushed it..... also ....right after.... it felt like there was a massive rush of blood streaming down my skull into my neck...weird.... it was internal.... i didn't break the skin.... I had all the symptoms of a mild concussion.... only lasted a hour, and i haven't had to take any sort of pain relief... thus far .... but my head feels strange... ( p.s. only a walnut size bump at the very top... it is finally gone...) ---- I feel a little dizzy now and then - doesn't last long .... and my head feels weird ....do i need to worry? -- thank you for your time / response - Laurie

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears that you had a hard injury to the head. Resulted in a bump, and it resolved.
There is no vomiting, and unconscious ness, so it may not be a concussion.
Any how I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis or excluding the concussion. You may need to have a C.T.scan for diagnosis.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
