Hit head

I hit my head 2 days ago and now I have been getting headaches, dizziness and nausea. The headache is mostly where I hit my head. While I was driving I experienced a tingling sensation through both of my arms and hands and felt weak.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since there is headache, dizziness, nausea, and tingling in arms, you need an evaluation to rule out traumatic brain injury, and compression of a spinal nerve in the neck region. It is also possible that you had nerve compression, which got aggravated due to head hit.
Also pain at the site where the head hit is normal, but since other symptoms are persisting, you should consult a doctor. It could just be concussion, and you will be your normal self soon, but the other possibilities need to be ruled out, and concussion confirmed.
Take care!

you need to see a doc...the dizziness, headaches, and nausea could be signs of concussion and the tingling also needs to be looked at!!!!
