Suggest Treatment For Mild Concussion And Dizziness

My wife hit her head very hard on a brick wall falling down. She was told at the emergency room that she had a mild concussion. That was 3 months ago. She was without dizzy ness for about a month. The. Last week she started getting dizzy again, it is worse when she lays down on the side she hit. Is this anything to worry about? Or is it how a concussion works

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello !
Thank you for the question on HCM! I understand your concern.
The fact that the problems disapeared and turned back again after 3 months is concerning.
I would recommend a good neurological examination and a head CT scan to rule out a possible subdural hemorrhage. This is a complication of head trauma, which can occur distantly in time from the trauma and can cause similar symptoms.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
