Feeling wierd after a fall?

Question

In cheerleading today we were stunting and we were only going to a full but something was wierd and i fell back and hit my head on the ground...i dont think i hit the ground too hard but it did hurt a lot lol and i was fine i just felt lightheaded and kinda dizzy but even now im still feeling that way i dont think its bad enough to go to a doctor but anything i should worry about? or should i just give it some time to go away?

Answer 1

you should contact your doctor. you probably got a concussion, and they are probably going to tell you that there is nothing you can do about it, but you should call and tell them your symptoms, when I fell like that they just took my symptoms over the phone and they decided that it was a mild consussion and i didnt have to be seen.  just don't hit your head again for 2-3 weeks, thats what they told me. and take it easy for a week.

Answer 2

definatly have it checkout. the area you landed on could give you one of two things , minor whiplash , or b  mild concussion . you do npt have to hit your head to recieve a concussuon . the whiplash , especially with women and thier increased flexabilty , are concussion prone . in this case it could take 3 to 5 days , for symptons to appeare . i am not trying to scare you . but i played sports for too many years , many at pro level . very concussion prone to this day, suffer from post concussion syndrome at the age of 60 plus . the spoert i played was box lacrosse canada and the united states , part of it was pre-helmet era . not as dangerous a sport as cheer leading . please have a exam a s a p . the sooner the better . i hope you have not slept . please , please go to emergency room , do not take any pain killers . you are involved in a high risk sport . congrats . and any person who says cheerleading is not a sport . is a unathetic moron . you are a better athelte than the players you cheer for . i have many rings , plus hall of fame induction . you are a greater all around athelete than i ever was or could have dremnt of being . pl;ease have the exam . it may just require , ice packs . please dont ignore this . great sport you are doing .

Answer 3

anything concerning the head or spine is worth going to the doctor for you should get that checked out

Answer 4

Drink some water/gatorade. You could be dehydrated.

Eat some fruit, too, particularly raisins. It'll help with the lightheadedness.

Try to rest as much as you can.

Answer 5

hmm, drink some water and relax. get a good night's sleep and if you still feel that way in the morning then you should tell your parents and get more help
