Can Tailbone Injury Cause Headaches And Nausea?

I fell down about 5 steps a few hrs ago on my tailbone . I. Almost immediately had a headache begin in the lower back side of my head, near the base of the cranium. I have now noticed nausea and still have a headache. Is it possible the fall on my tailbone and the headache are related. I fallen on my tailbone many times but never had a headache afterwards.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Your headaches and nausea might be related to brain concussion from the fall. I recommend to take some rest and Paracetamol for your headaches. If the symptoms persist for the 5-6 hours, you need to see your local Doctor. Hope this answers your question. Wishing you good health.
