Hello,

Post-concussive dizziness can persist for weeks or months after the trauma. If the symptoms continue, you may need a CT scan of the head for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I recommend to rest and avoid movements of the head that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
