Hi,
Consult a neurologist and get an MRI scan done to look for any bleed or trauma-related problem.
Sometimes it might be due to psychological causes like sudden shock during the event. Nothing much to worry as it will settle by itself soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
