I fell and hit my noggin

I slipped on a scarf, and hit my head on a wall...I may have been out for a few seconds, and I am nauseous and shaking. Should I go to the doctor for this? It doesn't hurt now, but it probably will come mornin'.

:(

3. yes, definitely

if you think you lost consciousness, get to a doc. Is there somebody who can drive you to the ER?

4. I guess it's possible that you got a concussion

I don't know if there's anything the doc can do for you unless you start to be in a lot of pain.

5. I am going to sit it out....wait until tommorow to see if I need a doc

I know, famous last words, lol. Since I am concious, posting on DU, and such, I would guess I am not dying. I was probably only out for a second or two. I am still a little shaky and nausious, but come to think of it, haven't I been since Tuesday?

Hugs to all of you sweet DUers. :hug:

6. If someone is with you,

have them check your pupils and see if they are equal in size.
You probably have a mild concussion so have them wake you up during the time you sleep and ask you what your name is. If you say some weird stuff, go to the doc. You'll probably be okay.
