Head Tingling...please help!

Hi-

I had a large wooden sign fall on my head about 2 weeks ago. I got a nice goose egg, but no concussion symptoms. I've been ok but the past few days I've noticed a "tingling" or "crawling" sensation where I hit my head. Does anyone know what this might be? I'm so scared that it's a brain bleed or I'm going to have a stroke or something. I'm 27. Can someone please offer some advice? Thanks in advance.

Anxiety can definitely do that. I started to get head tingles and was really terrified it was something awful but in speaking with my doctor she said this is common to anxiety.

Now when I get the tingle, I try to remember the turtle in "Over the Hedge" who says that whenever he gets scared his butt tingles. Helps me to laugh it off.

A tingle is just that. As Reed puts it, the turtle saying is apt to give you a fast relax with a smile, and a laugh.

I get head tingles when I get excited, and it's a good feeling for me when it happens.

Best wishes!

I would call your doctor ASAP and have it checked out immediately. I don't mean to scare you but head trauma is nothing to fool around with. You may want to start by going to the ER where you can be seen right away and then make an appointment for a follow up with your doctor. Please keep us up to date. Hugs GB

Even though it was over 2 weeks ago Gramybear? Wouldn't I have known by now if something was badly wrong?

My doctor allows me to email her with questions like that. I suffer from tingly scalp as a symptom of my anxiety disorder, but if you are scared, I would simply email her what you posted here. A lot of doctors do that or allow a call to the nurse that works with them.

Good luck.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
