Fell Down From Bike. Lost Consciousness And Had Acute Chest Pain, Back Pain And Loss Of Balance. Suggest?

On the 18 March of this year I fell down when driving a motorcycle after being blocked by a big and strong brought down wire across a road, the hind part of my head hit against the tarmac road surface. O lost my consciousness for a short while. For a few weeks I had to bear acute pain - on the chest part, my back just below the shoulders and the lower part of my back. After a three weeks I began to sense loss of balance, particularly when temperatures fall? what does that mean? How can I improve my health?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Based on your symptoms, it seems that you did not have a serious head injury and your symptoms are related to concussion.

This can lead to dizziness, imbalance, headache, nausea, etc. These symptoms due to concussion are self-limiting in nature and subside in a few weeks.

You can get better with vestibular rehabilitation exercises.

If symptoms persist, you may get a CT scan of the brain done.

I hope it helps.

Best wishes,
