Concussion?

I couldn't really find a topic section for my question, but here we go. My boyfriend is veryyyy stubborn, so he is trying to play it off but when it gets bad he complains a lot. About four nights ago whilewe were sound asleep my cat decided it would be thE perfect time to Ty for the first time to jump onto out headboard from the nightstand. Out headboard is about three and a half to four feet higher than our heads while we sleep. We have this rectangular block that has candles in it ( made of wood) on our headboard which she knocked off and it fell right on our heads. It weighs about 4 lbs. My boyfriend got a cut and an abrasion, plus a goose egg and a bit of bruising on his head from it. It barely got me. He has had severe headaches every day since I haPpened and even nausea a few times since then. Just wondering if he could have a concussion and if we should get it checked out... Thanks -stubborn boys girlfriend :)

Sure sounds like a concussion. There's not a lot to do about it now that it's happened, but prevention is important. Try to take precautions that this doesn't happen again. It might be worth seeing a doctor to ensure that there isn't anything else amiss, as headaches and nausea can be signs of more sinister conditions. That being said, the symptoms do line up with plain old concussion.
