Had Concussions, Dizziness, Off Balance. Do I Have Bleeding Internally?
I fainted on March 7th and knocked myself out. I ended up with a concussion but the symptoms had cleared up within a few weeks. Now the last 2 weeks I get the same dizziness when I lay down or bend over and at times I feel "off balance" when I am working/sitting. Do I need to be having this checked for a bleed or what should I do?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your current symptoms are unlikely to be due to an internal bleeding in brain. So, there is no need to worry. They are more likely to be due to peripheral vertigo. You can take betahistine tablets for relief of symptoms and consult an ENT doctor for evaluation. Please get back if you require any additional information.
