What Causes Dizziness After Being Hit On The Edge Of Elbow?
It s nothing serious, just curious mostly. I hit my elbow today extremely hard on a bathroom stall door. Enough for it to bleed. It was not the edge of the door it was flat surface. Suddenly everything went white for a few seconds and the room started to spin. I felt as if I was going to pass out. Is this possible?

Hello,
- It is possible that you hit your ulnar nerve that caused a parasympathetic response causing the dizziness
- Also, The sight of your own blood along with the pain could have caused these sensations
- You are right not to worry about it
