Worried again.......
 

Hello All,

If you have any suggestions please let me know what you would do....

I know I regularly comfort others but when these symptoms come back for you it is frightening.

On holiday in Spain on the last day, after picking something off the floor, I stood up and smacked the side of my head on a large piece of metal. The impact left a fair sized bump sticking out. I was dizzy but recovered quick. Later on had bad head pain. That was 1 week ago.

Since then I have noticed I am suffering dropsies, regularly in little ways. I am a hairdresser and kept dropping my comb (from my left hand).

Yesterday a.m I fell to the floor while talking to my hubby.

This morning my left arm went quite numb and I dropped a full carton of juice all over the floor, then I dropped my tea. I realised that my feeling in my left hand was no where near the same as my right.

It's xmas here so no doc open.

I have a nasty headache.
What should I be thinking?

I second what sospan said. Call NHS Direct. I've used them a number of times for various reasons and they've always been great. They will send an ambulance if necessary.

Good luck.

Sounds like you may have tweeked your neck. Ice it frequently until you can get it checked out.

Any time you have nerve symptoms in your arm(s) or hand(s), ice your upper neck. Sometimes, you even need to ice between the base of your neck and between your shoulders.

I have live with chronic issues like this for years. When it flares up, I ice and usually resolve the problem.
