Does Dizzy Spell On Bending Indicate Blood Colt In The Brain?
Please advise, last week I had a car accident and was thrown into the boot of the car. I rolled a Landrover 360 degrees. I was not knocked unconcious, but did get a big bang to my right eye,from my right knee... I was travelling at 70kms.I immediately got a nose bleed, but the bleed was short. I have a black eye and have suffered head pains on the right side.. my ear was a little sore and still is.. but what concerns me is that i am still getting blood in my mucus from nose, as this injury is now a week old. I have not exerted myself massively in terms of movement since then but get alot of pressure when I bend down and the occassional dizzy spell. Do you think its possible this is a brain bleed? Thank you for your time.

NON CONTRAST CT SCAN CAN DIAGNOSE THIS ABNORMALITY.
CAUSES INCLUDE ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE RESULTING IN NOSE BLEED IN YOUR CASE.

even after a week nose bleeding is not normal if there is local injuryto nose. Ideally, you must visit hospital for a head scan by Ct/MRI. Also during accident ,neck musclesor vertebral jerking may have some injury in neck deep seated and so an orthopedic check up is also needed, as bending may be causing some pressure to neck. causing dizziness.
