vomiting symptoms head injury

I fell backwards and banged my head to floor. There was no bleeding, vomiting or nausea.Its been 20 days now and I still have heaviness and slight pain since then. I went thru CT scan it says "cerebellar foliae are prominent" otherwise report is ok... what does it mean?? Do I need to worry and consult the doctor again?

Hi, Thank you for your question. After head injury or impact such kind of symptoms like headache & vomiting may be common, but may remain symptomatic or progress in future. I would recommend that he should consult immediately with a doctor for assessment. Please arrange an appointment with a neurologist who will evaluate the further prognosis here and can provide you an appropriate treatment. Hope this helps.

Generally the symptoms appear within 48 hours to two weeks. However no head injury should be ignored. If you develop nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc then consult a doctor immediately. These symptoms develop if there is a brain injury or bleed. Otherwise this pressure pain will go in a few days. Take care!

Nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc are all signs of head injury. You need to get this investigated immediately. Please go to the ER and get a complete neurological examination along with MRI of head and neck region. Take care!

i have numbness in the top of my head, it doesn't hurt, but the hairs on my head seem to be tingleing all the time. This has been going on for a few weeks now. Any idea what is going on?

You need to consult a neurologist as soon as possible or go to an emergency room and get evaluated for head injury and concussion. You may also need a MRI of the brain. The headaches could just be due to the hit or due to some bleed (that caused the swelling) or due to just a superficial injury to scalp. It cal also be due to bead injury that goes deeper into the brain.

I took a very serious head injury (concusion) playing rugby nearly 2 and a half months ago and have no recolection of the event as i have memory loss of the injury occuring.

A bump can form in the scalp—a contusion which will heal with time. Does he have any other symptoms like vomiting, nausea, vision problems, balance problems, gait problems? However one cannot ignore any head injury. Hence get him examined by his pediatrician once. It could be his gut flu. However do not ignore the symptoms. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Now after some time has passed since injury you need to look out for symptoms like balancing problems, fainting attacks or vomiting or memory loss in your daughter. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

my wife is 37 years old and she is suffering from head ache and vomitting sensation for the last 3 weeks ,she is getting this in the evening time mostly and she is a maths teacher in job. doctor has given some medicine for stress and its not working ,can some one help. should i do scanning of head.?

A concussion can last for weeks after the head injury. The symptoms too vary from person to person. Headache, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, nausea vomiting, slurred speech and fatigue are common. Delayed symptoms include depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, seizures, loss of smell etc. A doctor generally looks for focal neurological or generalized neurological symptoms that would show there is a pressure on brain somewhere.

However, since you feel you did not jam into the door too hard, if you develop nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc then consult a doctor immediately. These symptoms develop if there is a brain injury or bleed. Otherwise this burning sensation will go in a few days. Also, if the area of burning sensation enlarges, or spreads, or sensation worsens, then consult a doctor immediately. Take care!

i would definitely get your head checked. if the CT scan does not show anything, and you still feel strange, request an MRI. sometimes CT scans don't show what the MRI does. this was the case for my brain injury. the CT scan showed nothing, but the MRI i had later showed a clear injury to the brain. take care!

Sounds like you have a subluxion injury in addition to a head injury. Nothing is typical of a siezure. But that is JUST A GUESS. The "calcification" term PRONABLE refers to a narrowing of a nerve passageway in the cervical area through calcium deposits.

We have had pregnancy tests done and they all come back negative, The only other factor in this is that she suffered a pretty serious head injury which left her with a baseball sized knot on her head, and a broken nose which has been bleeding into her eyes, the doctors say everthing comes back clean as far as her head, but there has got to be something seriously wrong, can anyone please help us?

I was taken to the ER immediately after the injury. I remember nothing on that time period (8 hours). They discharged me after 8 hours and I wake up with dizziness, headache, fatigue etc., but the ER doctor said I am ok. There are no visible injuries on my head and even I can't find anything on my scalp or anything next day. Not even a bruise. I felt terrible for the next 3 days and had some bleeding from nose which stopped after the first day.

Can you give any opinion on how hard I need to fight him to be seen by the doctor? If he had a head injury related to his fall, would the vomiting have appeared before 48 hours? Would he have other symptoms?

i googled yellow liquid + nose and was a little frightened to see spinal/brain fluid haha, but that seemed a little overly dramatic, especially since this last injury was mild compared to the others (aka no vomiting or loss of consciousness or anything major like that). i was just surprised because i've never had nasal discharge after this type of injury. i'll keep an eye on it and report back :) thanks again for your response i feel relieved.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Although your daughter hit her head pretty hard, it is a very unusual pattern for a brain injury to take 5 days to result in headache and vomiting, so it seems like the fall may not have caused her symptoms especially since the CT scan showed no brain injury. She "cried a lot but seemed fine" is usually a clear indication that she was indeed "fine". Kids do bang themselves up and recover in a remarkable way.

Hi about 7 years ago i fell from my heigh on the head and had a brain injury with a very small extra-dural hematoma non operable. I did not slept into coma and would have not by the way because the bleed was 1cm small and did not expand further, did not have severe brain injury symptoms except vomiting and drowsiness and headaches, did not necessitate rehab, did not have confusion or loss of consciousness.

A concussion can last for weeks after the head injury. The symptoms too vary from person to person. Headache, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, nausea vomiting, slurred speech and fatigue are common. Delayed symptoms include depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, seizures, loss of smell etc. Injury to olfactory and lingual nerves of smell and taste could be a cause or it could be that nerves are in shock.

Hi, How are you? Are there other symptoms present? Was there previous history of trauma or injury to the head or neck? If there is none, this could be due to primary headaches such as migraine, tension or cluster headaches. Migraine headaches usually present with one sided throbbing headaches associated with nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light or sound. While cluster headache usually present with headache and pain in the vicinity of the eye that could last for a few days.
