What Causes Headache And Tiredness After A Fall In The Tub?
I live in a group home I fell last night I the tub and hit my head I saw stars for a bit. I cried for a little because my head hurt. Then my staff did nothing to help me. They just told me to turn off the water. Today I told my staff that I have an odd headache light is bugging me and I am somtimes seeing stars. I have been sleeping all day long so sleepy. What could this be?

Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
The headache you have could be due to the external injury you had due to the fall in the tub. You can take tylenol for relief.
But if the headache is more on waking up in the morning, felt more in the forehead or if there is loss of conscious, bleeding from nose , ears or if you had seizures, that could indicate internal injury and you need immediate medical attention and you need to go to ER for a CAT scan.
If you do not have any of these , just take tylenol for relief.
