Default Hitting head getting out of car

Anyone ever do this?

I can easily get distracted and yesterday someone was parked in my designated spot and so I had to find somewhere else to park which kind of threw me for a loop for a moment mentally.

When I was getting out, I whacked the top of my head flush onto the car door frame at the hardest spot where the metal's covered by a bit of foam but it's still a really hard material.


Would this kind of bump to the head have enough G's to cause a concussion or be of any concern to the brain?


It hurt enough when it happened that I yelled out a very loud "Ow!!!" like when you unexpectedly stub your toe in the dark.

My eyes have had light watering and there may be a light headache as well, but it doesn't seem as major as when I had bad light sensitivity and low energy from a moderate concussion last year.

Thanks for reading and hope everyone else is recovering well!

Yes can relate. I HATE that! It's so aggravating because you keep replaying in your head how stupid you were for not paying attention and being careful. It would set me back for a few days if it happened to me. Hope you didn't get too much horrible symptoms.
