Question : I was taking something out of my dresser drawer and I got up and hit my forehead on the wood drawer. it was about 11 p.m. so I went to sleep and I got up this morning and I have no bump on my forehead and I am not dizzy and I can see okay and have no nasuea. Do you think it will be okay for me to drive to the gym? My forehead is a little sore where I hit it.

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can drive to the gym.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Lack of nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, headache indicates that the injury was not that strong. Moreover, you have not loss consciousness. This just reassures that the brain was not injured.
All you have from this injury is superficial swelling of the forehead.
So in my opinion you can drive to the gym. In case any of this symptoms appearance, consult neurologist.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
