Can Injury In The Head Be The Cause Of Dizziness?
I have recently been diagnosed with Labrynthitis and taking Betahistine for dizziness, but two previous to this diagnosis I fell and split the back of my head open resulting in stitches. Am I suffering from above, or perhaps from concussion? Is it also okay to have a glass of wine as I cannot sleep?
