Hi - kdaida75 is so right! I can only share my experience wintering in FL. January 2023. I hit my head pretty hard which seemed like nothing but a bad awkward movement- raising up fast and hit head hard on an open cabinet door. I had a mild to moderate headache that didn't go away for several months. I was treated for a "sinus issue" because of a bad allergy season, I played golf and walked miles regularly. My pain med of choice was Aleve or Advil or a combination of the two. Not good for a bleed. In April, my Connecticut APRN finally ordered a CT scan and a SDH was prominent. A month later it remained and was growing. Referred to a neurosurgeon, it was necessary to have a couple procedures. Advise here is stay on this, and insist on follow up.
Hope this helps

Advice here is stay on this

claudiajoyce,
Staying on it seems to be the plan. The neurosurgeon described a procedure that they would do if the hematoma didn’t resolve.
If it does resolve, the plan is to do another CT scan periodically anyway.
Thank you. I hope you made a full recovery.
