Hello,
Since your husband has a history of two head injuries in the past and one
head injury recently and is experiencing symptoms of headache, nausea and mood swings, he is suggested to get clinically examined by a GP and get investigated. Leakage of the
inner ear fluid may occur after a head injury and may cause symptoms like
dizziness, nausea or unsteadiness.
Head injury may also result in difficulty in focusing or memory problems depending upon the impact and location of the injury. He is suggested to get Blood tests and Imaging tests (X-Ray, CT, MRI) done to detect the pathology causing him such discomforts. He should make lifestyle changes like get enough sleep, avoid caffeine or addictions if any, avoid red wine and Chinese salt (MSG). Do regular walking and stay well hydrated.
He will be treated with medicines (anti-depresssive, anti-seizures) or surgery, depending upon the pathology detected. Presently he can take
acetaminophen for relieve, one SOS when required. He should avoid doing any heavy work.
Relaxation therapy, therapeutic
massage and
counselling may be helpful. Get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
