Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to chronic sinusitis.

The spinning after the head trauma could also be caused by an inner ear disorder (like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).

The loss of conscience is not related to any of the above mentioned causes. It could be related to low blood pressure, a cardiac arrhythmia or epilepsy.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
-a resting ECG
- a brain CT scan or MRI
- complete blood count '
- ESR, PCR for inflammation
- fasting glucose.
An ENT specialist consult may be necessary to exclude an inner ear disorder.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
