I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?

Monitoring for Internal Bleeding_
- Watch for worsening headache: If your headache worsens or becomes severe, seek immediate medical attention.
- Look for other symptoms: Monitor for symptoms like:
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision or sensitivity to light
- Confusion or disorientation
- Weakness or numbness in arms or legs
- Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
- Sudden severe headache
- Difficulty speaking or swallowing
- Weakness or paralysis in face, arm, or leg
- Vision changes or double vision
Birth Control Pills
As a precautionary measure, consider stopping your birth control pills temporarily until you're cleared by your doctor. Birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots, which may be a concern if you have internal bleeding.
Follow-up
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist within the next 24-48 hours to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

View allI'm having this weird tingling sensation in my left eye, almost like when you feel a pulse or beat in a nerve. My eyelids twitch a bit when it happens too. It's been going on for about 45 days now. I'm wondering if this might be what we call "aankh fadakna" in Hindi. What could be causing this?
This sensation you are experiencing in your left eye, known as eyelid twitching or myokymia, is usually benign and can be caused by stress, fatigue, caffeine, or eye strain. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using lubricating eye drops and practicing stress-relief techniques. Additionally, you can take a supplement containing magnesium to help relax the muscles.

I'm feeling these hard pulses all over my body, like in my head, hands, and legs, and I'm also dealing with constant shaking and body vibrations. My vitamin B12 is low at 150, but my ECG came back normal. This has been going on for years. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse rate is about 80, though it goes up with exercise or activity. I know I'm overweight and have a lot of anxiety. Should I be worried about these hard pulses? I tend to overthink and often find myself spiraling after looking things up on the internet. What do you think could be causing this?
