I'm scared of brain damage after hitting head. only symptom is mild headache doctor will just tell me to rest i'll be good im so scared i'll drop dead?

Comments: Most closed head injuries cause only external superficial pain or swelling and are benign and self-limited. Your doctor seems to be comfortable with no bad outcome, but your emotional response is quite intense. Would you benefit from some counseling to calm your fears?
