    Hit my head in a fall
    I fell and hit my head a couple of weeks ago. After I fell I felt very tired, there was extreme pressure in my head, I felt like I was in a fog and I could pass out at any time. I did not think I hit my head that hard, but I had taken too many muscle relaxers and was quite out of it at the time. Now, my right ear drum is perforated and I have to see an ear specialist.

    Do you think that my hitting my head has anything to do with the symptoms or is it just a coincidence?

    Why didn't you go to the doctor then? Whys haven't you been to the doctor since because you continue to have issues?

    I did go to the doctor, he is referring me to an ear specialist. I did not think it was serious at the time, but then I started looking up how an ear gets perforated and I remembered the fall.

    You probably had a concusion and the pressure could have contributed to the ear pain.

    You should never ignore signs like headaches, weakness, pressure (your brain swelling in your skull!), loss of vision or other neurological signs after hitting your head - all signs of concussion, if not a more severe brain trauma.

    Did you tell your doctor about the pills and the head trama you experienced?

    If you didn't tell the doctor about this... then you didn't go to the doctor when this happened like I asked. You might want to clarify that statement a bit... because it actually is important.
