I was recently in a car accident and the air bag emploded in my face. Because i was being retarted and dint wear a seat belt i flew forward and hit the air bag. I know i have whip lash...but is this a reason for my head ache too?

Hi,

It is best that you be seen by a physician. A baseline physical examination and imaging of the head and cervical spine will help. This will serve as a reference in case your symptoms persist. A rehabilitation medicine specialist will also be able to help you. You may need therapy to alleviate the symptoms.

Do keep us posted.

Hi,

Have you any headaches before the accident?Have you been properly assessed right after the incident. If not you need to be evaluated for a baseline assessment. Trauma involving the head and neck may result to headaches later on ( although this may not be true in all cases).A whiplash injury may cause concussions or trauma to the cervical spine.This is something that you may need to discuss with your doctor.If you have any scans or test results with you do bring them along during a consult.

Keep us posted for anything.
