Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Head trauma with loss of consciousness will need a Brain scan or MRI to exclude a hematoma. LOC could as well just be due to the shock from the injury.A brain MRI will be better as it will not only tells us if any hematoma but it may also reveal new MS lesions.The other symptoms you present could as well be due to your progressive MS.I will suggest you see a Neurologist for evaluation.I will recommend the following measures for your MS:
-Get enough rest
-Regular fitting exercises
-Avoid exposure to heat
-Eat well and balanced
-Avoid stress
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
