Q: got punched in the head 6 months ago, no symptoms except now i feel some intermittent pressure in the back of the head recently. could this be a hemotoma?

: Hematomas form immediately after disruption of tissues and their effects are present soon after formation, not 6 months later. The chance of this being some hematoma inside your skull approach zero. Outside your skull it would only be a transient cosmetic issue. These symptoms are unrelated to the event.
