Hello
It seems from the history that you had a head injury following which you are having symptoms of concussion. Concussion is injury to the brain as a result of sudden acceleration and deccleration.
The symptoms which indicate concussion injury are headache associated with nausea and vomiting, loss of memory following injury, dizziness...
The presence of these symptoms requires evlauation by CT scan and other investigations to rule out head injury.

Thank you
