I was cleaning my car today and hit my cheekbone with the corner of the car door really hard. Its swollen and bruised. This happened about 6 hours ago. Now im laying in bed I have a slight headache not too bad. But I feel weak like I have no energy. Im trying to go to sleep but I feel like im going to pass out instead. And my ears are ringing. Can i get a concussion from that? What do you think I should do? Should I seek medical help?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. Due to the impact of the car door directly to the cheek bone, there must be an inflammation which will lead to irritation to the sinuses and later on headache. Ringing can be a temporary issue too. Also, getting a thorough neuromuscular assessment and if needed an MRI will be advised. But in most cases its more of a bone and muscular injury and heals at its face. Since, in the facial region, the muscles are smaller than the other parts of the body and any injury in that area will lead severe pain and bead. If you get any further symptoms which are add-on to the current symptoms then visiting a physician is advised. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
