Had An Accident, Just Banged A Little. Last Night Fainted, Woke Up Confused & Unsteady. Emergency?

I was in a car accident three days ago, not seriously hurt, just banged up a little. Last night, I was standing up in my kitchen, and I either fainter or had a small seizure. The episode last 45 seconds or so. I have very little memory of this. People that were there described me falling to the ground twitching uncontrollably, when I woke up I was very confused and unsteady. I was extremely tired and could barely keep my eyes open. The confused and unsteady was not gone in the morning, and I still feel tired and confused. Is it too late to go to the emergency room? This happened about 13 hours ago.

Spine Surgeon 's  Response
Please go to emergency immediately and get Cat scan brain to rule out the brain injury. Sometimes post injury you may get brain edema leading to such problems. I would suggest to consult neuro surgeon. Sudden bang on head can cause concussion injury to brain. Go to ER and grt assessed by emergency physician. Thanks.
