Question 1

I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?

Monitoring for Internal Bleeding_

1. *Watch for worsening headache*: If your headache worsens or becomes severe, seek immediate medical attention.
2. *Look for other symptoms*: Monitor for symptoms like:
    - Dizziness or loss of balance
    - Nausea or vomiting
    - Blurred vision or sensitivity to light
    - Confusion or disorientation
    - Weakness or numbness in arms or legs
3. *Seek immediate medical attention if you experience*:
    - Sudden severe headache
    - Difficulty speaking or swallowing
    - Weakness or paralysis in face, arm, or leg
    - Vision changes or double vision

_Birth Control Pills_

As a precautionary measure, consider stopping your birth control pills temporarily until you're cleared by your doctor. Birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots, which may be a concern if you have internal bleeding.

_Follow-up_

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist within the next 24-48 hours to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.
