Head X-ray analysis

Hi, I had an accident last night that involved a serious fall and loss of conciousness. I went to the doctor today and he sent me for a head x-ray, however I am now unable to see him until tomorrow when he will let me know whether anything is broken. But I would be incredibly grateful if someone will give me a bit of peace of mind by having a look now. Please let me know if this is in wrong section/ not possible. I have also the frontal image if it is required. Thank you.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I am sorry but this X-ray cannot be read. Also until the X-ray plate is visualized against a light one may miss hairline fractures. What you can do is watch out for nausea, vomiting, headaches, flashes of light, unsteady gait, excess sleep, tremors, seizures etc as these are signs of head injury. Ideally a CT scan or MRI of the head should be done. Take care!
