: You sustained a significant head injury. Posttraumatic headaches &amp; lightheadedness wouldn't be unusual. Worrisome symptoms would be worsening headache, nausea,vomiting,drowsiness,visual problems,confusion. I would like someone to check on you intermittently tonight while you're sleeping&amp; ensure you're arousable¬ confused or manifesting any neurological symptoms or signs. Take only tylenol
