Are Dizziness And Nausea Common In Patients Having An Abrasion And Loss Of Blood Due To A Head Injury?

I had a fall 4 days ago and hit the back of my head that did cause an abrasion and a fair amount of blood. Since then, I have had dizziness, nausea extremely tired ( I have been sleeping alot) I feel like I am going to fall when I walk. I do not have a primary care doctor so I would need to go to the ER. Not sure what I should do. Thank you

Hello,

You are likely suffering from a set of POSTCONCUSSIVE symptoms that would be best be checked out at an URGENT CARE center or EMERGENCY ROOM.

These are common symptoms to feel after having suffered a strong blow to the back of the head and it is very likely you have a concussion. I highly recommend you seek medical attention right away as things could complicate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
