Nits very kindly ran over the top of me this morning and gave me a huge bump on the head. I've had a kip and woke up feeling a bit sick but I'm ok now apart from a woolly head and a headache.

How long does it last and is it ok to take painkillers?
 
I guess you wernt knocked out or you would hvae gone to a+e rather than for a sleep!! Which as you have woken up from that you should be fine just a spre head! You should be fine to take painkillers, and it will prob last atleast 24hrs!!
Hope you feel better soon! If you were knocked out and didnt go to a+e it is worth getting checked out as head injuries can keep hidden for a while and you want to be sure its nthing serious.
 
ah you should never go to sleep after a bang on the head!!
If sickness continues go to hospital, make sure you have someone around tonight if you dont go to hospital to make sure you wake up in the morning....!! :eek:
 
I do know I wasn't supposed to go to sleep. I didn't mean to. I was merrily sitting there enjoying the F1 and then all of a sudden I was asleep. I seem to have woken up so assume I'm ok!
 
ok hun I seriously think you should go to A&E - is there anyone with you tonight - please do not be complacent about how you feel - you will no doubt be fine but a bang to the head must be taken seriously - biiiiiggggggggggggggggggg hugs as been there got t shirt ummmm including having a gate dragged over me by a horse lol- please pomise you will get checked out by doc or hosp - now promise me pleasssse lol :)
 
Its actually fine to go to sleep after a bang on the head as long as you didn't lose consciousness when you banged it, sleeping is the brains way of settling things down inside.

Even with children nowadays they encourage them to sleep, in hospital they just pop in now and then to make sure they are responsive and haven't passed out as opposed to just sleeping.

F1 does that to me all the time!! I have to sit on a dining chair now to watch it to make sure I stay awake. :o

Hope your head feels better soon. I think you should get it checked out though.

I love the Grand Prix. I don't normally flake out!!

OH is here keeping an eye on me so if I die in the night at least someone will notify the police!

I haven't banged my head since I was about 11. I did end up in the hospital then as I woke up in the night with double vision but this is no where near as bad as that!

I'm sure I'll be a ok in the morning but if not will poottle down to the doctors :)
