Does My Hubby Need To Go The The ER Immediately As He Hit His Head?

My husband hit his head hard several times while in a small plane experiencing turbulence last night. Now it's been about 30 hours later and he is complaining of being very sleepy and feeling nauseousness all the time. Does he need to go the the ER immediately? What about in the morning? Would an urgent care clinic suffice?

Hi, thanks for using HCM.

Your hubby's symptoms could be due to effect of flight travel or head trauma.
Better to consult doctor in ER to get examined to rule out any head trauma. Not to worry, but better to get checked .
