guess who has two thumbs fell and hit his head at work then proceeded to lay on the floor convulsing for two minutes. this guy right here <---------
seriously I'm fine but everything tasted like pennies for a few hours. hell i even finished my shift and everything. because well I'm my fathers son.
yeah the basics was i went to grab something out oh the thermalizer at work turned fell hit my head and arm. proceeded to go up front tell my manager about it. he asked how i was all i could say really was spiny. then i went to the back to was my hands. i remember touching my arm then i blacked out came too on the floor twitching and convulsing. told my manager about it and he looked at me with a strait face and said well that sucks. two hours later he asked if i needed to go to the hospital. i didn't but still. currently I'm fine other then a random wave of nausea not major but enough to know what it is. lol

honestly im fine i think most of it was from hunger and the rest from lack of sleep. i went in on four hours of sleep and an empty stomach. it was stupid but im not hurt nor am i in any danger from the fall. but i do thank you for showing me more concern then my manager. lol

the problem is the convulsing and the penny taste in your mouth is a sign that you hit your head harder then you thought
the convulsions is a sign that you should have been coded to er lights and all in the ambulance
and this is comeing from an ex medic
Most head trauma involves injuries that are minor and don't require hospitalization. However, call 911 or your local emergency number if any of the following signs or symptoms are apparent:
Severe head or facial bleeding
Bleeding from the nose or ears
Severe headache
Change in level of consciousness for more than a few seconds
Black-and-blue discoloration below the eyes or behind the ears
Cessation of breathing
Confusion
Loss of balance
Weakness or an inability to use an arm or leg
Unequal pupil size
Repeated vomiting
Slurred speech
Seizures
