Blood pressure drop: The circulation to the left side of your head dropped. Most likely due to a drop in blood pressure. Dehydration, anemia, or some people just people just have low blood pressure.

Not sure: If not worsening probably no big deal. But if worsening in any way, should get checked by pcp.

Can hitting your head hard cause a stroke?

Dr. Christopher Dowdanswered

See discussion: Hitting your head won't cause a stroke in the way we generally refer to a stroke-a blockage of a blood vessel in your brain. However hitting your head hard can do some other things that aren't good. A more likely effect would be a concussion, which can have neurological effects on you. Less likely, but a hard hit could potentially cause a bleed in your brain, & this could have stroke-like effects.

A 34-year-old member asked:
What do I do if a tiny eyelash is poking me? Should I just pluck it out?
2 doctor answers • 4 doctors weighed in
Dr. Robert Kwokanswered

Yes, pluck it out: If one, two, or three eyelashes are poking one in the eye, he can just pluck out the lashes. If he is not steady with his hands, he should have a steadier person do the plucking (wouldn't want him to accidentally poke himself in the eye). If the lashes keep growing back, he can ask an ophthalmologist to see if there is a way to fix the problem permanently.
