What Could Cause Pounding Of Heart With Nausea In Patients With Concussion?
I fell on ice and snow 9 days ago and was knocked unconsious and was taken to the hospital. I have a concussion. I was nausious and dizzy with headaches for a week. The nausia and dizzyiness has subsided but I still have bad headaches. Yesterday a new symptom started occuring. Everytime I stand up my head starts pounding as if my heart is beating inside my head. Should I be worried?

Hello,
Since there's a new symptom, a reevaluation by your Doctor and probably with a CT scan of the head is necessary.
There are conditions days after head trauma such as hematoma, brain contusion, etc. to consider. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
