Just great

I banged my head on this metal spiral staircase there is outside where I live (ie. cycled underneath a curve of it and didn't duck away enough) just as I was going to Sainsbury's and think I may have been feeling hints of nausea on the whole trip, and now that I'm back I feel tired. I'm fairly certain I'm just tired, but know I'm not allowed a nap with a head bang/possible injury so am going to have to keep myself awake until my proper bedtime. Why is none of my Coke cold yet... *whinge*

PS. Does anyone know what you're actually meant to do with a possible concussion? Google's giving me nothing apart from 'find a doctor if it seems bad'.

ETA: I'm OK! Went to A&E and apparently gave myself a mild concussion, but am staying overnight with a friend overnight and should be fine!

Good you're staying with a friend, because basically all that can be done for a closed head concussion that doesn't brain swelling stage is for someone watch you and make sure you keep breathing and don't start seizing during the night.

Yeah, the doctor at the hospital basically said that everything was fine and the only thing I really needed to do to be safe was not go back and be on my own overnight; it looks like everything's fine!

Glad to hear it.
