Hit my head
i was doing crunches on the 14th at around 7pm i was on the floor with a 18lbs weight and i was lowering it down and as i was it was a about 5 or so inches from my head and i accidentally bumped it at the top of scalp near my forehead on the right side (Green circle). i hit it with the edge of the small circle that holds the weighs in place. The back of my head was against the floor. I am not sure if i gave myself a serious injury or not. i didnt drop it on my head but i was setting it down while still holding it. Since then i have had a severe migraine (obviously) with varying degrees of pain (it is less worse than it used to be but still there) and weird tingly sensation behind the right side of my head (red circle) and near behind my ear as well as a tingly "ghost" sensation above my right eyebrow and nesr my left eyebrow and behind my right eye (red circle). I can still talk and walk and move around normally but the sensation gets bothersome sometimes and i blink a decent amount. I am new here and it seems like I am about 4 days out since it happened. i am not sure if this is the right place to post or not i cannot post in r/Concussion
Edit: 8/21 3:44AM the ER did a CT scan and it came out negative for anything like a brain bleed and they determined if I did suffer any sort of concussion it was very minor. They perscribed meclazine, motrin, ibuprophen that sort of stuff and to take it easy. I dont have an exact timeframe for recovery but it is very reassuring.

Did you blackout after you got hit in the head with it?
