Could be, problems with spatial orientation are not uncommon. Ask yourself if you experience other difficulties with spatial orientation (momentarily losing track if where you are in the house, that sort of thing). If you have issues with vertigo (also not uncommon) this could also cause the bumping.

It's easier to say than do, but do what you can to be aware of your orientation. It probably goes without saying but bumping your head is not going to be a good idea at this point

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
