Headache and fatigue after a head injury?

Question
Hello doctor,
I was in a car accident and hit my head against the wall, but I was okay with wearing a helmet. I had a CT scan and there was no bleeding in the brain. After returning from the hospital for 2 days, I felt tired, slept very deeply, like a coma, woke up with a headache, restlessness in my stomach. The doctor asked me if I had a headache with fatigue after a head injury? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have a headache with fatigue after a head injury? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Head trauma can cause many different clinical manifestations, from mild to severe, life-threatening. The fact that you have a CT scan and no intracranial hematoma rule out dangerous lesions. In patients with mild head trauma, manifestations are also very diverse, from persistent dull headache, decreased concentration or sleep disturbance,... However, the symptoms usually do not last long. long-term and most will go away on their own in a short period of time.
With the condition you describe, you do not need to worry, you can still do normal activities and note the following symptoms:
Long-lasting dull headache, increasing day by day. Vomiting many times. Convulsions. If you have any of the above symptoms, you need to go to a medical facility to be examined by a doctor.
