I hit my right temple about a day ago and it's still really hurting. It's tender to the touch and I've had a headache for around 20 hours. I'm also feeling on and off nauseous, and it hurts in my temple when I open my mouth. I'm still pretty cognitive though. I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be wrong?

Blurry vision or difficulty focusing. Any change in cognitive function, such as memory problems, difficulty concentrating, or confusion.Based on your symptoms, your doctor may recommend an MRI or CT scan of your head to rule out any serious injury, like a concussion or fracture, and to ensure there is no internal bleeding.

I'm really concerned because my hands seem to shake a lot, especially when I raise them or even when I'm just trying to drink some water. Could this be a sign of weakness or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?

Shaking hands (tremors) can be due to various causes, including weakness, stress, or even essential tremors. It's best to see a doctor to rule out issues like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, or neurological conditions. Don't worry; many causes are treatable!
