Ok, a bit embarrassing, but yesterday I hit my head, very hard, on the bathroom cupboard standing up (don't ask me how, I don't even know!). It hurt a lot when it happened of course, and now there's a bump. Actually the bump has been there from the beginning. The thing is, I woke up about 6 hours after this happened, with a headache. I fell back to sleep, and woke up some time later. The headache has gone away, but not totally. I still feel something on my left side(where the bump is).

I've always been afraid of head injuries, and Im becoming paranoid. Should I go to the doctor or not?

Unless it was banging you head and passing out from it, I wouldn't worry too much the bump. Waking up with a headache is normal if you bang your head, but if it makes you feel better about it, go to your doctor and have him check you out.
