What Causes Fainting And Dizziness Post An Injury?
Yes please. About six weeks ago I fell backwards I felt and heard a crack. I couldn t hold on to my walker even. For two weeks after I would have these severe room spinning so fast dizzy spells. So I used my wheel chair more during that time. NOW maybe 6-8 weeks later every time I look up or tilt my head back, only when standing and walking with my wheel chair I immediately start head spinning. Last about a minute. This has been going on about 2weeks now and seems to happen more often now. At least 15-20 Times a day now. Can you please give me a few reasons of what is causing this? Sincerely Miss Texas

Hi,
* As the amount of spinning is severe (15 - 20 times a day), I strongly recommend to get an MRI of the brain to rule out any underlying contusion, hematoma of the brain or its appendages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
