HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the head injury then ideally it need be investigated for any internal injury and you can bot rely upon the clinical condition best is to get done the CT although it may not be bleeding again but it can not be said for sure, hope this information helps take care and have a nice day.
