Yesterday a heavy object fell from a shelf in a shop and hit me directly in top of the head. I felt fine initially, this morning however my head is extremely sore, I feel sick with a headache and blurred vision . Do I need to go to hospital to get it checked out. Also I have been diagnosed with mild epilepsy when younger and have been seizure free for about 7 years
Dear patient The nature of injury you describe seems not grievous. But only thing that is bit of worry is blurring of vision. It would have been better if you had described the exact nature of blurring of vision. If that was just transient phenomenon then there is nothing much to worried about. But if the symptoms are ongoing then you need to consult a doctor. I don't think presence of past epilepsy has anything to do about of present set of complaints
