post concussion
 
I got a nasty bang on my head on the hard top of a bunk bed. I did not faint at all anytime after it and I remember everything that happened before and after the incident. I hit myself on the top of my head. Ever since then I have been getting intermittent bouts of dizziness and headaches. I think it may be post concussion syndrome and not internal bleeding because had it been a brain bleeding affair I would probably be incapacitated by now( it has been 10 days since this incident).

I also notice that this tends to occur more in the evenings and nights. I am still in my right mind after the ten days.

If it had been internal bleeding I am sure I would be getting convulsions and the likes like 2 days after the injury.

Also when I wake up in the morning I feel fine. This only occurs at nights and evenings.
is this post concussion syndrome or not. Also it does not happen every night. It is on and off.
I read post concussion syndrome can last for months.
I did not go to any doctor. Are you sure I am alright and have post concussion syndrome or am I about to die?

I am worried of a hematoma. Could it be that? What would be the symptoms? Would I knoiw by now.

If you are going to worry so much about this head bump, then go see a doctor. He can do a neurological evaluation to determine if you have any neurological symptoms.

You could also see a chiropractor as you may have injured your neck.
