Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

Dizziness and other complaints you have mentioned persisting for two weeks after fall can be commonly due to two causes

1. Disturbance in the vestibular system. These are small canals with fluids in your inner ear. This will settle by itself
2. Chronic Sub Dural Hematoma. This is collection of blood between brain and its coverings. You need to consult a Neurosurgeon for this

So,
I would request you to ask for appointment from Neurosurgeon at the earliest

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
