Possible concussion?!
Question: My partner fell in the shower and hurt her head. She has a line about half an inch long at her hairline. She says her vision is 'a little trippy.' Her pupils dilate properly and she can follow a point fine. No headache. However, she seems a little more clumsy than normal. If she gets worse she is going to go to the dr, but for now she doesn't want to. I don't think she has a concussion, but I want to be safe. I remember something about staying up for hours with one, but I cannot remember how long, so I wanted to ask here. And suggestions short of a trip to the dr?

she should prob c her GP sooner rather than later.
did she loose consciousness straight away? if so then she should be checked over.
the first 24 hours are vital, any signs of nausea/vomiting/fits/loss of conscious should be checked straight away
