Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J.Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you.

The following symptoms following Head injury require evaluation by a Neurosurgeon
1. Loss of Consciousness
2. Fits
3. Headache
4. Vomiting
5. Dizziness
6. Giddiness
7. Double Vision
8. Blurring of Vision
9. Numbness
10. Weakness
11. Bleeding from Nose
12. Bleeding from Ears
13. Bleeding from throat

Since you are having dizzy spells, you need to go to the Neurosurgeon. Don't worry. Unless your condition is severe, you wont lose your driving licence and only if it is needed, they will give you injections. Mostly, they will do a CT Scan and if things are within normal limits, give you tablets

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

In the future, for continuity of care, I encourage you to contact me directly in HealthCareMagic at http://bit.ly/askdrbruno

Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery
