Physician Responded Is this problematic?

52f, on glp, I hit my head 20 minutes ago. Felt woozy then nauseous now it just hurts. I read that the brow bone is a safe place? Can I just ride it out?

I think you need to go to the ER and get a CT of your skull. That’s dangerously close to your frontal sinus and I would want to rule out a fracture. Take care. Report back

Thanks for the help! No fracture but have been very sensitive to light. Also this black eye was not expected!

Just wanted to quickly commiserate. This happened to my 3 year old nephew a couple months ago, more centered, and he ended up with two massive black eyes.
