A member asked:

Opened car door into nose/face 12 hrs ago. didn't lose consciousness. recently started feeling lightheaded. should i worry about a subdural hematoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked.: Delayed lightheadedness after trauma is worrisome, and should be evaluated by a clinician, because even "minor" head trauma can lead to bleeding in the brain which can be fatal. I would go to your local doctor who will probably order a brain ct to rule out that possibility. Time is of the essence.
