Hello!

Thank you for your question on HCM! I understand your concern.

It is normal to feel dizziness after a head concussion. It may last for months and even years after the concussion. I think that if the head trauma has caused an inner ear problem it can repeat for years.

I recommend you to consult with the ENT specialist. A benign paroxysmal vertigo could be caused by a head trauma and can be the cause of recurrent vertigo.

Other possibilities (not related to the head concussion) to take into consideration would be other inner ear problems or cervical column arthrosis.

Hope to have been of help!

Greetings! Dr. Aida
