Subdural Hematoma?

[kanyeknievel]

Over a year ago I fell snowboarding and hit my head about twice within a month and I think I got a minor concussion. But since then, I THINK SINCE THEN, i've had like a weird chronic pressure in my head. It goes away sometimes then comes back and usually lasts the whole day. Its a pressure thats in my head, not a hedache or anything, but it usually starts off as nothing in the morning when I wake up and gets worse and comes in waves later in the day.

But basically after that happened a year ago I cot a CT scan and nothing apperead to be wrong. And in this article about Subdural Hematoma, it says a CT scan would discover it, if i had it. So Im thinking I dont have it, but i have anixety about it because I got an MRI script and i read it finally and it said at the bottom Chronic SDH. I looked it up and this is what SDH meant. Subdural Hematoma...

I looked it up and saw this page http://www.sportsmd.com/Articles/id/7/n/subdural_hematoma.aspx . i dont think it is a seriosu thing, but could require sugery of sometype? I dont know if its serious, if in fact that is what I have. but I just became kinda worried about it, incase it is a serious thing... it scares me. The symptoms don't see to match me except like short term type of memory.. but i still dont know if this is what i have. Judging by the symptoms I dont believe I do and because I got a CT scan after the injury and it said a CT scan would show it

Does anyone know about SDH? Sorry Im ranting im just a little sketched out. Gooing to get my MRI today. Wish I got it a year ago when I was supposed to :/...

p.s - i dont think i should be too worried becaue if it was that, and it was serious i think within the year of the incident and now i would have a lot worse problems and could be severe in some sort

Holy shit! get aeromedical transport to a trauma center! Our patient has TBI, intracrainal pressure appears to be rising rapidly, no spontaneous respirations, mismatched pupil dilation, comatose presentation. suspect SDH."

While rarely you'll see one thats chronic, most are acute neurological emergencies as they tend to keep bleeding out and putting pressure on the brain. Making my little above note the more common presentation of the TBI and the SDH along with it.

and its easy to confirm on a CT.

Kanyeknievel, I hope it is not anything serious, but unfortunately no one here is going to be able to diagnose you over the Internet. You did the right thing with going for the MRI on Wednesday. If you would like this re-opened to update us on what it turned out to be, drop me a PM. :)
