This is going to make me sound like a right prat, but never mind. I went out on Wednesday night and had rather a lot to drink (2 bottles of wine and some baileys too). I hadnt eaten much, and was therefore completely wrecked-I can't remember a lot of stuff, but there are some bits I do remember. One bit I remember was falling over into the road on the way home (yes, I know), and banging the back of my head quite hard on the kerb.
Its now Friday, and I have a lovely lump on the back of my head, and I feel really odd, sort of hazy. I have done since I got up yesterday morning, when I figured it was just my hangover. Is it likely to still be alcohol related and need another good nights sleep, or do you think it might have something to do with my headbanging incident? I'm only worried because I don't remember being like this still 2 days later in the past after my drunken escapades, although the day after it comes part and parcel of the hangover usually, and clears up after a few hours.

Do you live alone or with other reliable adults? If you live alone you should definitely get it checked out, no question. If you live with someone sensible who would notice and do something if you went a bit funny then you should probably still get it checked out but it's up to you.
Or ring up your doctor and ask for an urgent appointment this afternoon and see what they say. Ours has ones they release at lunchtime and they are usually the last ones of the afternooon.
I'll give the doctors a ring and see what they say if thats the case with appointments like that. Thanks
Someone I do guides with told me a story about a young man who had a couple of pints fell over and hit his head and was very briefly unconcious but came round and said he felt fine and didnt' need to see the doctors. Unfortunatly he died the next day.
As long as your not vomiting or passing out then your probably be ok, but you best try and see your GP to put your mind at rest. Phone the docs and tell them you really think you'd like to see someone as you have sustained a head injury and are a bit worried, lay it on a little thick if needs be.
Just make sure you avoid alcohol at all cost for a week or so (alcohol & concussion can cause some nasty stuff to happen if you start drinking according to my GP).
