Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to head with a basket ball.
Following this since you are having dizziness and sleepy head injury needs to ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult doctor for examination to rule out head injury. The alarming signs indicating head injury are loss of consciousness following head injury, bleeding from nose or ears, nausea and vomiting... If you any of these symptoms you need to consult your emergency doctor.
Thank you
