Hi,



Thank you for posting your query.



Based on your symptoms, you seem to be suffering from post-traumatic vertigo or concussion effects after head injury.



The injury seems to be a minor one and there is no need to worry.



At present, for releif, you may take betahistine tablets. You should get better in a week's time.



If not, you may consult a doctor and get a CT scan of head done.



I hope it helps.



Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
