Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and past medical history.

Based on the description, you seem to have suffered a mild head injury and there is no need to go to the ER now.

Please watch for warning signs such as severe headache, vomiting, drowsiness, weakness of arm or leg, etc. If any of these symptoms develop, you should get a brain CT scan done.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
