Should I go to the Dr?

Three days ago I ran into a light poll while I was running and blacked out for just a few minutes.  I came to and my roommate tried keeping me concious, but I don't remember any of our interactions or even what had happen until they told me the next day. I have pain and bruising above my left eye and slightly under it. I'm a smoker, and two days later I noticed smoking making my stomach feel kind of unsettling and giving me a slight headache.  This has never happened before.  I've also had difficulty dreaming as well as lucid dreams when I usually didn't dream before the accident.  I also saw a figure when I woke up from one of these dreams who didnt go away until I turned my light on after I had swung my pillow at it and screamed. May I have some sort of brain trama?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Your symptoms could be due to stress and anxiety of the head injury and subsequent concussion you suffered. However please go to the doctor and get a MRI of brain to rule out any bleeds or TBI or traumatic brain injury. Take an antacid or proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole to control the acidity you have. Hope this helps. Take care!

You may have a concussion and go to ER or PCP asap and get a CT Scan/MRI just to make sure there is no bleeding or anything.

Nausea/headache/amnesia is something not to be ignored.
