I blackout in the office, my colleague said I did not hit my head anywhere. Though one of the colleague said that the temple in my left side was red. Since then, I have a swelling in the head near my temple and inside the hair. The pain sometimes is severe. I went ro hospital they said the blood work is normal and the ct scan is normal. I still feel the swell in my head and the throbbing pain. Sometime is too severe to endure and it will subside by itself. It been more one month now. The pain won't subside, now sometimes it will flare up to point that I just want to hit my head or press my head so hard to make it stop. Sometimes together with the pain I will feel like vomiting but nothing come out. The eyebrow is swelling constantly. I feel weak after the head ache flare up, like I am drain. Sometimes I will also feel like having hard tym breathing when the flare up starts.

It really does not matter much about redness, swelling or pain over forehead or scalp seen. Complaints of persistent and long standing throbbing headache, vomiting sensation, actual vomiting sometimes unsteadiness are the complaints which are to be taken bit seriously. Just some swelling inside the skull called cerebral concussion to possible bleed inside depending on its degree gives worsening of above symptoms. The exact cause of your fall called a syncopal attack needs to be explored clearly. To approach this problem in initial period you normally require a consultation with a physician in internal medicine md, if found necessary to investigate the extent of damage if any or for required intervention you need to consult a neurosurgeon and some times an ophthalmologist to check inside of your eyes to find out any effect as seen by them by an intraocular and retinal examination. Looks like these experts have found nothing significant at the moment. Now you seem to continue to have some of these complaints. This may necessitate regular periodical monitoring by neuro surgeon for some time more. If no defect a consultation with a neurophysician to investigate some other cause not related to head injury as a result of a fall. Since you already have taken necessary steps and likely to see these experts for sometime, any catastrophic or serious turn is unlikely.
