Thread: Dizzy spells, feels pressure and pain when moving, more then 24 hours after...

...hitting head? My gf hit her head yesterday, and although it didn't seem very bad at all, she apparently blacked out for a few seconds after and it took her quite a while to recover her balance. She is extremely active and athletic (yoga, roller blading,etc), and since yesterday she gets dizzy with even the slightest physical activity. She also says she feels constant pressure in the area where she hit her head, and pain when she moves. She doesn't really like doctors, but I am worried should I urge her to go?

I could be wrong, but I think you need to take her to the hospital. Head injuries are serious and shouldn't be taken lightly.

She NEEDS to go to the ER right away. She has no other choice. This is a sure sign of bleeding on the brain.
