Hello dear,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com. I understand your concern. You apparently had a mild head injury with the door hitting your head.I called it mild as it was not associated with loss of consciousness or clouding of consciousness. It is very common to have post traumatic headache,which may start days to months after the head injury.Though it was clinically mild and has no compelling indication for a brain imaging,still you can get a computerised tomographic(CT) scan of head done to see if any after effects of injury.Meanwhile,please take tab. amitriptyline 10 mg once a day at bedtime.It will surely help.Please take medicines under a physician's guidance.I hope it helps.
