Today I was standing in a grassy area when my friend ran at me and knocked me over. I hit the back of my head very hard on the ground and my whole head started aching. I had to lie on the ground for about ten minutes because I couldn't get up. My friend walked me home to make sure I was okay and I felt better. Now I have started to feel sick, my head hurts a lot and I feel very weak and tired. I have had concussion before but my vision was distorted and I actually threw up that time. Is this just normal because I knocked my head or have I got concussion or something?

If you ever hit your head so hard that it either makes you sick or your vision goes bad, then thats a good time to visit the Dr. I know its a hassle to go to the Dr's office, but better safe than sorry. Concussions are not something that you should brush off your shoulders. They lead to comas in some cases. Be more careful....people who already had concussions are more suseptable to getting another one. Good Luck!! [ ThursdayCasey's advice column | Ask ThursdayCasey A Question ]

zapreth answered Monday April 4 2005, 2:43 pm: I'd say get it checked out. Concussions don't always show up the exact same way. Look at it this way, a concussion is a bad brain bruise. Different parts of the brain control different parts of you. So you may have bruised a different part from last time. I would say check it out and your neck too. Feel better!

Head injuries are nothing to mess with. If mom isn't home call her and let her know what is going on. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
icey0990 answered Monday April 4 2005, 11:53 am: My dad hit his head and an ambulance had to come and the whole deal. The ambulance person said that any blow to the head should be looked at because its serious..he said my dad could have went to sleep and not woke up in the morning (meaning he would fall into a concussion or unconsiousness in his sleep) so to be on the safe side get it looked at by a doctor.
