Hello doctor,
I am 21 years old female. I punched in the back of my head three months ago, and I have been having headaches, dizziness, and hard time catching my balance when I stand up. I daily wake up and go to bed with a headache. I have tried Tylenol, and nothing seems to help. I am not taking any medications.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your post, as you have mentioned in your post that you were hit on the back of the head and now have giddiness and difficulty in balancing, I would suggest,
1. You will need an MRI brain and cervical spine to role out any abnormality of the brain stem and cervical spine due to trauma.
2. The imbalance is caused by either the problem of middle ear or cerebellum which can be differentiated by clinical examination, so consult a neurologist.
3. Meanwhile, you can start tablet Betahistiine 16 mg twice times a day that will help. I hope you are satisfied with the answer.
