This is a bit of a long post, so thank you for taking the time to read it:

Three days ago, while getting up from a low wooden stump, I hit the back of my head—specifically the parietal bone—against a wooden plank.

That same day, I felt irritated and slightly dazed; I could feel that the central part of my skull was slightly warm and tense for some time, but then shortly after its dissapeared. Sitting on computer I had small problem with concentration. That same night, I fell asleep but woke up after a few hours and couldn’t fall back asleep; everything seemed okay, except for a slight sense of derealization? I had to watch out for cars in the parking lot more than usual; I drove home and went to sleep shortly after, but then I woke up again a few hours later and couldn’t fall back asleep; the symptoms had subsided a bit, Three days after the incident, I managed to fall back asleep (I don’t know for how long, but I managed to do so after waking up). I feel better than in the previous days but a bit tired, walking with slightly worse balance. There’s also a chance that I’m paying too much attention to this as I very care about my brain power and cognitive capacity, and it’s a placebo effect.

After reading all this, is it something to worry about or should I just give it a few days to regenerate, what advice could you give me?
