Hi Welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding dizziness after suffering a concussion.
Dear , Panadol prescribed by your dr is usually used to treat mild to moderate pain (from headaches, menstrual periods, toothaches, backaches, osteoarthritis, or cold/flu aches and pains) and to reduce fever.It is no match to your symptom , like lethargy , out burst of anger crying hysterically
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare.
However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
Dizziness and other symptoms as headache , nausea . emotional and behavioral symptoms , restlessness, aggression, and mood swings ,after suffering a concussion are normal symptoms
Some common symptoms, such as apathy, insomnia, irritability, or lack of motivation are also present .
Lie down for a minute or two and close your eyes . This will allow more blood to flow to your brain. After lying down, sit up slowly and remain sitting for 1 to 2 minutes before slowly standing up.
Do not lie flat on your back. Prop yourself up slightly to relieve the spinning sensation.
Some yogic postures and pranayam like Deep Breathing (Take deep breath) -Inhale -Hold Exhale deep breath - Hold , repeat 5 times , Bharamari , Omkaar nad - reciting O-o - u m--m and Meditation with closed eyes in a clean peaceful place is a soothing .for health of body and mind .
Thorough Rest , Head massage with Almond oil and a spoon of Almond oil in a cup of hot cow's milk at bed time and and a level spoon of turmeric powder in a cup of hot milk in BF , medicines are helpful to relieve depression or insomnia .and other unpleasant symptoms
Physical and behavioral therapy may help for problems such as loss of balance and difficulties with attention .
Before applying any therapy in your regime , first talk to your doctor.
If problem persist consult your physician .
Hope this helps solve your query Take care All the best.
