Dear Drs, 12 hours ago, i was out drinking and at somepoint i suddenly felt dizzy and fainted. As i lost consciousness i fell on the floor on my side and now have a bump on the side of my head, at the forehead area, right above my ear and also feel a bit sore on my side and hip. I went to the hospital where my blood pressure was low and i had an x-ray of my head, which seemed fine. At the moment, i feel a bit cold and the thermometer says 37.5 and i get occasional abdominal sensation or mild ache. I have slept about 5 hours and have been up and about since and also went to the city centre, with no problem. Do you think i shoud see a doctor again? Also is there something that i can do for the sweeling?
Hi. Thanks for your detailed history. You should see a Doctor once again for 2 reasons:1) to get the vitals, pupils, power of the limbs checked as you had a fall, unconsciousness and related symptoms2) you have to get and MRI of the brain to see the causative factor or a result of head-injury on fall. -also to get the symptomatic treatment for the dizziness and mild pain in abdomen after the MRI report. -To get admitted if the MRI or clinical examination is indicative of any serious problem in the brain.
