Headaches, nausea, possible hematoma?

[Dibenerzz]

Dear All,

I sustained a head injury by a blunt object around 3-4 weeks ago and since then i have been experiencing headaches, nausea and motion sickness. I am very worried that I may be experienced internal bleeding and would be grateful if anyone could advise me on what to do, should i seek medical assistance? will it sort itself out? is it likely to be a hematoma? and if so is it likely that i will require surgery?

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me!

No. Don't seek medical insistance. Instead, find a funeral parlor and ask them about the discount pre-paid plan and save your relatives the problems they will face when you die. And sell your car because people with siezures can't drive. And use the Internet to sign up for a heathcare plan that provide you with 24/7 care when the damage progresses and turns you into a quadraplegic before it becomes a "pre-existing condition".

I don't mean to be facetious, but your question boggles my mind. This is the year 2009 going into 2010.  You may have had a simple concussion, which sometimes cause permanant damage and sometimes doe not. Or you could be bleeding inside your brain, a little bit more every day. If caught early these problems can be easily resolved. With every hour of delay, things may (and I emphasize MAY) get progessively worse.

(a) Yes, it is possible you have what is called a hematoma
(b)  Yes, you need a medical examination in an ER as of five minute ago and an MRI.

Although i am grateful that you have taken time to respond to my query, i'm not too sure how to interpret your response, could you please provide a couple of bullet points detailing what i should do?

Go to an emergency room and they will have a protocol with which to evaluate you. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but I wanted to give you a push into the direction of seeing a physician. Every hour you delay increases the chances of an unhappy outcome. Most likely, everything will turn out fine, but it doesn't pay to take a chance.
