Constant headache from falling
I fell down the stairs two days ago and hit the back of my head pretty hard. I'm feeling presistent headaches, a stiff neck, and swelling from where I hit my head at. I wanted to know, do I need to go to the er even though I'm functioning?

Hi.... Self-care measures can help ease the pain of a headache.
Try muscle relaxation exercises. Relaxation may help ease the pain of a headache.
Relaxation techniques may include progressive muscle relaxation, meditation or yoga.
Get enough sleep, but don't oversleep. Get an adequate amount of sleep each night. It's best to go to bed and wake up at regular times, as well.
Rest and relax. If possible, rest in a dark, quiet room when you feel a headache coming on.
