Hi Terry,
Thank you for posting your query.
Most likely, you are suffering from post-traumatic vertigo. In this condition, after a head injury, dizziness occurs. It may come in episodes. It is not a serious illness, so, there is no need to worry.
These symptoms improve over time and may resolve completely within a few weeks.
For symptom relief, you may use betahistine tablets.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
