hi there...
rode my bike yesterday morning and stupid me ended up crashing it, smacking my head on the pavement and cracking my helmet as a result...nothing too bad, but was a bit too dizzy initially to continue the ride...got a (car) ride home, got some rest and, except for some shoulder and neck soreness, I am feeling kind of ok today...
I didn't see a doctor but talked to one (my brother) today and he kind of said, " ok, it is nothing major, but just in case, why don't you take a couple of weeks off from training"--
well, that is not exactly what I had been planning on doing..
I can see where I should hold off running (because of the impact) for maybe a couple of days; and avoid bike riding for a little while because I could potentially hurt my head again, but swimming should be ok, no? And running in like a day or two?
Anyone else had similar experience after just a minor impact on head (no loss of consciousness or nausea etc)?
