Just a headache... or more?

Hi there, I am really scared right now, I am 14 years old. In February I was sledding and hit a cement wall and cracked 2 ribs and had to get rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. I was told my head was fine (even though they had run NO tests at all) but I HAD hit it on the wall also. For about a week after being out of the hospital, I had a severe nonstop headache. It finally went away so I thought nothing of it. About a week and a half ago, I hit my head on the floor while trying to go back into a bridge ( I am a cheerleader and a dancer) and I had fallen backwards on my head, immediately after I had a massive headache and I've had one ever since. I've tried drinking a lot of water, and extra strength Ibuprofen. The medication would work for about an hour then the headache would come back. Yesterday was my schools track meet and I had to run the 1000 meter run. Right after i crossed the finish line, it felt like my head was going to explode, it felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head, it felt like all the blood in my body was rushing to my head. About 5 minutes later, I looked in a mirror and my eyes were very red, puffy and blood shot and I have a HUGE headache. Will this pass, or is it something serious?

Ok, thanks for the help!

Well, you might have a minor concussion. Some can be serious, and you faint, but maybe when you went sledding, you had a headache, and then hitting your head again might have given you a very weak concussion. I would go to the doctor, I don't think it needs to get worse...

I would make a doctor's appointment just in case...
