Felt Dizzy After Falling Down The Stairs With A Pretty Hard Hit. Should I Be Concerned?

Hi, I fell down the stairs and landed on my bottom. It was a pretty hard hit. I could feel the shock. After I was really dizzy and had trouble standing up until I was taken outside for some fresh air. I'm just worried something might have gone wrong?

Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Kunal Bhalla's  Response
Hi there.
Feeling dizzy after having such a fall is not very alarming as long as you have not hit your head on the ground.
Take a days rest and see if the symptoms recur.
If they do then get yourself evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon.
If at all you might have hit your head then a CT Scan will help you find out whether any damage has been done or not.
For the time being take lots of water or other liquids.
Good luck.
