What Causes Dizziness And Headache After A Head Injury?

I have a question regarding a fall that happened this past Friday. I was drinking pretty heavily and I was told the next day by a friend that I tried to sit on the toilet and missed falling on the ground but I slammed my head on the toilet seat hard. I didn’t remember this happening until I was told about it. It is now Monday and my head just feels sort of fuzzy occasionally aching a little bit. I have also been taking Advil for a knee pain so I’m not sure if I have a headache. Should I go to the health center at my school just to be safe?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dizziness is one of the symptoms that you may experience after a concussion. During the week or two following a concussion, the vast majority of patients will recover from their dizziness and other associated symptoms. I can recommend you to maintain your daily routine be physically active but stop if you get dizzy minimize alcohol and caffeine, drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep.
