I fell in my back and hit my head real hard, is there anything that I should take or something?
We were playing some games and I fell on my back, my head hit the floor and kinda bounced. I landed on my head and wrists. After I got up I felt the pain and was feeling dizzy. Like in the following 30 minutes my eyes were kinda blurry and as I walked it felt "funny" like dizzy but not too dizzy. I didn't bleed but it really hurted, i've never hit my head so hard before, i think. It scares me a little bit. Should I take something? it's not hurting unless I touch it, but it feels a little uncomfortable and I still have some of the tired feeling. Or maybe it's just my paranoid mind
I fell and hit my head about 4 hours ago and cant hear out of my left ear. Permanant? should I see a doc?
Go to the hospital NOW. A head injury is very serious. Head injuries are first priority cases in the ER - you will get a head CT scan to check for bleeding on the brain. If you cannot hear out of one ear, you hit your head very hard and may have damaged the nerves that run to that ear. You probably also feel "off balance" - your body's balancing mechanism (the semicircular canals) are also in that vicinity. Please don't wait and don't drive yourself. Get someone to drive you there.

I hit my head hard two years ago and sometimes I get headaches in the place where I hit it. They are rare (every other week or so). Is this normal?
"I hit my head hard two years ago and sometimes I get headaches in the place where I hit it. They are rare (every other week or so). Is this normal?"Nope, it's not normal. As is the rule with Quora, the information supplied is inadequate to say anything definitively. I'll pretend the blow to your head didn't knock you out or make you confused, unsteady on your feet or nauseated. I'll hope that blood did not spurt out your ears or nose and you did not develop a pair of "raccoon eyes." I'll also assume you used good judgement when you decided to not see a doctor. In the absence of any symptoms suggestive of concussion or skull fracture, you might not have been scanned had you gone to an ER. Practices in this regard vary around the world. You now have had 2 years of intermittent headaches that are becoming less frequent and are (now) usually not severe. Which suggests they used to be more frequent than twice monthly and were occasionally severe. Which is where the little details of history and exam come to bear. If I had to guess, I would say your head bonk unleashed a previously quiescent Migraine predisposition. If you're a guy, about 7% of guys get migraine attacks. Another 14% of guys have the genetic predisposition, but don't get migraine headaches; they just father daughters with them. All that changes, however, if the guy gets a sincere smack to the head. Once the Migraine demon is unleashed, all sorts of headaches, small, medium and horrendous, can occur. Stress, lack of sleep, perfumes, etc., can all be triggers for individual attacks. The list of possible triggers is long, but generally short for a given individual. All of this is conjecture, however, and your diagnosis cannot be clarified over Quora. If the headaches continue to improve, that would be great. The fact you're on Quora suggests maybe you're concerned because they've plateaued or some have recently been particularly problematic. In which case see a Neurologist. If possible, a Neurologist specializing in headaches. International Headache SocietyAHS Homepage | American Headache Society
I hit my head a few days ago and still hurts after 3 days?
It means you probably have a concussion. If you feel any numbness/tingling, start acting different from usual, blurry/double vision, clearish fluid coming from your ears, or slurred speech, then go to the ER. If anything gets worse, also go to the ER. If things are staying the same or getting a little better (or better than the first couple of days) then that's fine. The only thing you can do for concussions is to rest or take some Tylenol for the pain. Don't watch TV, don't text, don't play video games, don't be on the computer if you don't have to be, as these can make your symptoms worse.
