Head Injury

I have just accidentally banged my forehead very hard against a wall. I was placing something in the bin and the wall juts out (Like a pillar) behind the bin, I misjudged the speed I bent down and whack, I felt really odd, but didnt pass out, but I have been a little sick (shock I think) and my forehead has a massive red bump emerging. I dont think I need medical attention but was wondering if anyone knows what part of the head is the worst to hit? I have a feeling its the side rather than the forehead. I am alone until 5pm but will my son is picking me up then and so I wont be alone, I am sure I am just being silly but the bang was so hard, it shocked me.

To be honest, if you've been sick I would get it looked at. Better to be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon x

yes, just called my son, he is coming to get me now and we will pop into walk in on the way home...I just dont relish the thought of a Friday night in A&E (dont suppose anyone does!)

Thanks MrsGosling71

Good plan op - vomiting is a reason to go and get checked out.

Hope you get seen to quickly and everything is ok. It might not be too bad at this time, early evening. Good luck x
