What Causes Dizziness After A Head Injury?
Hi, 4 days back I got hit by cricket ball on the left side of the head while practicing. I had immediate swelling but it has reduced now and pain is also reducing. At times I feel dizzy, especially while lying down and getting up and sitting idle and moving. Is it normal? Can you please advise Me on this.

Hi,
Although swelling is reduced externally, there could be injury inside due to a cerebral concussion, which could be causing dizziness.
Kindly get a CT scan of the head done at the earliest and consult Neurosurgeon with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
