Is this normal?!

[crashdoll]

I hit my head and fractured my nose 10 days ago. I'm having an operation to fix the nose next week. My concussion symptoms have mostly gone except, I am really short-tempered and frustrated. This is VERY unlike me. I feel quite out of control. For example: my BF cooked me a lovely meal but missed out one ingredient and I screamed and swore. I didn't even care that much and the meal was lovely. I just feel really on edge and not myself.

Maybe you should see your GP to find out if this is normal and may ease, or if you need a referral to see a specialist about this. I hope you get this sorted, as I'm sure you won't want to live with feeling ready to blow up with othersover minor things.

That should be others over

Thank you for the reply. I will try and get an emergency GP appt on Monday, failing that, will mention it when I'm admitted on Tuesday for op.

Are you in pain ? And are you taking any meds? I suffer from severe chronic pain 24/7 and it can cause me to be short tempered and snappy etc. medication can sometimes do this do. Also withdrawal effects from medicine can do this.

I felt 'unusual' for a month after a head injury. I would mention it however.

I've taken a few punches at work and for a while after I would get very irritable and short tempered. Do get checked though, it can sometimes be the shock that makes you react like this
