Dizziness And Headaches After Head Being Hit On Ice. Wisdom Tooth Removed. Any Suggestions?
My girlfriend(27 years old) hit the back of her head on ice, it s been a week now and when she stand up to fast she gets a little dizzy. Also, sometime she gets a little headache, also she just had a her wisdom teeth pulled 4 weeks ago and got dry socket so I think that may have to do with some of the minor headaches . Do you have any so suggestions?

The fact that a week has passed since the fall without any serious event is good news. However there are some things you have to look out for and if present should immediately visit the A and E.
These are
Loss of conciousness
Vomitting
Visual disturbances
Any bleeding
Very severe headaches
It is not uncommon to have minor hedaches after falls or tooth removal and this can be managed with some analgesics.
The dizzyness on standing may be due to postural hypotension which is due to several reasons and you must get her standing and lying down blood presure to check if she does have it.
