What Causes Neck Pain, Headaches And Dizziness After An Accident?
In January I was in a car accident where I was in the back seat when a girl slammed into the back of our stopped car. I know I hit my head because I was holding it when my sister turned around to check on me. There were no bumps or anything, and I didn t get it checked out when I went to the hospital. My neck hurt for a couple weeks after the accident. Since then I ve been getting headaches and dizzy spells quite frequently. Is this normal to be happening this long after the accident or would something else be causing these symptoms?
Get an MR of the brain. It can rule out many things. Getting an ENT specialist's opinion is also good. Imaging studies and office tests can tell the exact cause and proper diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
