I got thrown from a horse and landed on my head about 3 months ago. I went to the emergency room and had a cat scan done, they said just a concussion. I was extremely dizzy at the time, and am still having a lot of problems with dizziness and still have a bump on my head. How long does it take for the dizziness to go away?
Hi, As you have written, there was a concussion injury to your brain and this can take time to heal. A concussion can affect how the brain works for a while. It may lead to a bad headache, changes in alertness, or loss of consciousness. These problems will probably recover slowly over 6 weeks. The bump can be treated with enzymes causing healing of the scalp soft tissues. If the dizziness is intolerable then please consult your doctor and take medications. Do not put yourself in high risk activities such that you might cause harm to yourself or others.
