Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, these symptoms are normal after what you experienced. You should be seen for assessment, however, by your doctor to make sure that there are no serious complications.
In most persons, there are not, but the assessment is needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
