What Causes Dizziness And Short Of Breath After Got Hit In The Neck And Back?

5 days ago I fell down three steps and hit my head and back. The headache and soreness as a result of the fall have gone, however now I am experiencing light dizziness - similar to how one feels when they are short of breath. Is this a result of the fall and how should I handle this?

Hello,

It is due to minor concussion and will settle by itself. As of now drink plenty of water and take bedrest. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
