It never hurts to visit your doctor after a head injury. Inform you physician of any drugs you are taking and hopefully an x-ray will determine if everything is okay. Some car hoods are very heavy and can have a major impact on the head. Please see your doctor as soon as possible.

I would suggest you do get checked out, it may not have caused any harm but your much better off to be safe than sorry. You only have one life and one body, protect it and always seek medical treatment in a situation that could be potentially fatal.

Good luck and take care. MO-MAMMA

Since you are on coumadin, a blood thinner, you have fragile veins to begin with. A blow to the head, normally is ignored unless signs of confusion, stars, the mandatory egg on the skull, etc are causing problems but since your veins are involved with the edications, it would be prudent to go in and have them run a few pressure tests and possibly an MRI to see if your leaking into the old brain box. I suggest you don't drive, either get a friend, neighbor or cab.
