What Causes Nausea And Dizziness After Experiencing Concussion?

Have I suffered a concussion? A week ago, I passed out and hit the back of my head on the ground while I was abroad. I thought I had recovered after a few hours, but the plane ride home left me feeling very weak and nauseous. These past few days, I have experienced a lot of dizziness and nausea. These feelings intensify after I eat. I feel unbalanced when I walk, and woke up this morning with ringing in my left ear that disappeared after 10 minutes. Should I be concerned? I am also scheduled to undergo liposuction/fat transfer in a week. Am I still OK to undergo the procedure?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms are quite normal after a head trauma. They do not indicate any serious medical complication.
Anyway, I would recommend having some rest for some days and avoid abrupt head movements.
If the dizziness persists, it would be necessary consulting with an ENT specialist to exclude any possible inner ear disorder (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
