Worry About Head Trauma If I Had Migraine, Have Nose Bleeds, Sore Throats?

I passed out 2 months ago and I m starting to feel like I should be worried about head trauma? I woke up one early morning and found out my nose was bleeding (right nostril ). I went to the bathroom to try to stop the flow. I probably ended up losing a lot of blood. But I also had to pee. I held up some tissue paper over my nose, and sat down. I finished peeing, but I passed out. Completely. I became conscious but I couldn t move. I couldn t open my eyes. I thought I was going to die. Vaguely, I also thought that if I could just crawl into the corner... crawl there... then somehow I d be alright. Then I realized I should scream for my mom and dad. I didn t even know I WAS screaming until they came knocking on the door. They broke in and found me. I started hyperventilating and they carried me back to my bed. I threw up later that morning, but I had also taken too many meds the day before. Melatonin (to sleep), aspirin , vitamin c tablets (because I had a sore throat). The right side of my head hurt after I passed out. I had a migraine on that side for a week or so afterwards. Since then, I haven t been able to sleep well. I m oversleeping (which I ve never done before) and constantly tired. Napping. Sometimes I feel dizzy or I feel like something in the room is changing. I feel like I m changing but I don t know how. The right side of my head constantly feels like it s hurting... or something. I don t know. It just FEELS different. I can t feel the left side of my head. My aunt thinks I have a sinus infection. I think she s right because I had a sore throat before I passed out, and I had a problem with my sinuses in the past before. Also I had a lot of nosebleeds when I was a kid. But still. I don t feel quite right mentally right now. Sometimes I can t handle something, or I feel like I won t be able to handle it. I m afraid to admit that, because I m also gay and my family knows that I m anxious about that (I told them, but they don t really accept it... and they hope that I can change). Should I also be considering head trauma by any chance?

Hi
Thanks for your query
I can feel your concern
yes this may be a side effect of head injury, do get a repeat ct scan brain for this .Take oral antibiotics and antipyretics like ibuprefen ,drink plenty of water avoid oily foods and soft drinks .you should do gargles and take some green tea I recommend to have a proper clinical examination.
Hope it helps
Wishing a speedy recovery
