Could Nausea And Dizziness After An Injury Denote Concussion?

I slipped and fell in my bathroom and I do not remember anything after that. Do you think that fall resulted in a concussion? The day after I felt nauseous, dizzy, out of place, and could not tolerate the taste of alcohol. Also my friends have been telling me that I seem different

Hello,

Yes, one of the main symptoms of concussion is amnesia.

Other symptoms also represent concussion too, it may take some days to improve.

If no improvement or new symptoms appear (increased headaches, vomiting, lethargy, etc.) get medical attention.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
