When hit your head how long can it take for brain hemorrhage or brAin bleeding to show signs? I hit my head 3 days ago im scared.?
I have a headache almost feels like a sinues pressure headache i have sinues pressure im my nose head and eyes. Urgent care doctor examined me about 8 hours after i hit my head did a few test but no cat scan said i had mild concussion. Are the signs immediately or do they take time or am i just worring to much.

Superz23,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Brain bleeds are very rare and will exhibit far more symptoms that just a headache. A sinus or pressure headache is to be expected. Many have them for a few days to weeks and even months.

A dangerous brain bleed would cause an 'I hurt so bad I can't see or think' headache. They may also cause a loss of motor control/ stumbling, slurring of speech, etc. similar to a stroke.

The minor brain bleeds that show up in a few rare, severe concussions show up best at 72 hours. A CT Scan is 200 times the X-Ray radiation as a normal x-ray. They are best avoided unless serious symptoms indicate a need.

You should be resting for the rest of a week since your concussion. Good sleep at night is important. No alcohol, almost no caffeine. Minimize stress in your daily activities and life.

Concussion symptoms can get worse for a few weeks after the impact. A concussion is a process, not a single moment event. It causes a cascade of chemistry in the brain that can worsen over time and take takes time and rest to correct.

85% of people will recover for their concussion symptoms without intervention other than rest before 6 weeks are up.

The best you can do is relax and let your brain heal. Anxiety will only make your symptoms worse and last longer.

You are statistically more likely to get hit crossing the street than suffer a brain bleed from a concussion. The younger you are, the less likely a brain bleed will happen. So, stop worrying.

Super23,

I'm no expert....Mark will chime in here soon and he knows a lot more about that kind of question.

My guess based on my experience only is you're probably ok.

Im just very scared I'm a huge hypochondriac and I've never worried so much about something like I have this. We can not afford a ct scan I've had headaches everyday since I hit my head last Friday

If you are not having excruciating headaches and loss of motor control and other severe symptoms, a bleed is extremely unlikely and a CT Scan would be just a dangerous dose of radiation.

Since it sounds like you are just having post trauma headaches, not increasing intensity headaches, you just need to relax. Your anxiety can make the headaches much worse.

I have had headaches that lasted 6 months. Others have too. Painful but not a big health concern.

My best to you.

I hit my head 5 days ago went to urgent care 8 hours after i hit it he did nerlogical test but no ct scan said i had a mild concussion. Should i still worry about brain hemmarage or brain bleeding ive had a headache almost eveyday since i hit my head and tonight i just dont feel very good. I hope its just stress or anxiety bc of worrying about this so much my sinues also started hurting after i hit my head they where out of control today there was so much sinues pressure today i hope im not dieing
