A member asked:

Fell backwards on ice and hit head on concrete. have a headache but otherwise ok. dangerous? don't want to go to er right now

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It depends on how long ago this occurred and If you are just experiencing a minor headache. Then likely you would not have to go to the ER. If your headache is getting worse or if you are feeling confusion, feeling dizzy or loss of sensation, or if your feel like something is wrong, then please go to the ER.
