Hi welcome to HCM.
Head injury is associated with troublesome cardiovascular disturbances.Concussion injuries can lead to significant rhythm disorders.These can be diagnosed through baseline ecg and 2 dimensional echo.Drugs like beta blockers can help to control these arrhythmias.Stress management can lead to prompt reduction of these abnormal impulses.Electrophysiological heart study can help to locate abnormal ectopic focus if any.Consult your cardiologist for further help.Thank you.
