Fell off a machine at the gym and onto my head. am I ok?

[Anonymous]

this is real embarrassing but yeah. Fell of a core balancing machine at my local gym, which i am never gonna show my face at again, and quite literally onto my head and side of my face. was very humiliating experience as i kind of laid there for few minutes in pain. next day after applying ice and all, the whole right side of my face is purple and bruised, specifically my forehead, cheekbone and jaw line. Now that's fine, just bruising but when i fell i landed onto my head and felt really dizzy and numb everywhere. next day that's all gone, just face pain but I'm worried i have a brain injury?

there's no pain in my head at the moment, in fact it feels numb in a certain area.

Am i okay?

thank youuu

if u can... get a checkup at a doctor's office. although if u think it's an emergency go to the ER.

I think I have a concussion for sure. drink plenty of fluids for the next week as I recover. don't workout until youve fully recovered 2-3 wks to avoid as much permanent damage to ur nervous system as u can. unfortunately with every hit to the head we take we do damage our brains. be careful.

If you have health insurance, then take advantage of it and get checked out. If you don't have health insurance, then i would rest a few days and make sure thing don't get any worse.

I think you'll be okay if you aren't feeling any pains or headaches but you can always check up if you are worried enough

You need to see a doctor for an examination to make sure you don't have a concussion or intracranial bleeding.

How would anyone know if you are okay. Stop attention seeking
