Good advice.
I suffered a subdural hematoma from a blow to the head.
The blow occurred on April 2016. Symptoms like nausea and vomiting did not appear until July.
It was not until December that symptons got bad enough for me to finally see a doctor and get an MRI.
I went from the MRI to emergency surgery to stem the very slow bleeding.
Moral of the story: any blow to the head, especially as one gets older, is potentially dangerous.
