I was skiing today with my daughter. She fell and while helping her, a snowboarder hit me in the head with his snowboard and dragged me a bit. He literally fell on my head with his snowboard. Luckily, I was wearing a helmet but my head has been heavy ever since and Im afraid to fall asleep. I usually sleep without pillow but Im debating whether I should sleep tonight with one. Also, should i go get CAT scan tomorrow instead of going to work? I am wondering...
Hello and welcome. The accident was unfortunate.  You seem to be having minor concussion, it does not exactly warrant a CT scan. It's advisable to wait for 4-5 days. Meanwhile, you may consider taking mild painkiller and hot water bag. Avoid mental stress, alcohol, smoking. Take rest and try to sleep well. Eat a soft non-spicy diet with plenty of fruits. Keep a watch for any new symptom.  You should recover soon with above precautions in a week. Hope I solved the query. Thank You so much. Take care, wish you speedy recovery
