Should I call my doctor?!


Question: Should I call my doctor?
About 2 years ago, me and a few friends were playing basketball. When we were about to leave, one of my friends thought he could make it from across the court. As smart as I am, I was standing a little bit under the net getting our things ready. He threw the basketball from about the halfway line and lucky me, it hit me in the left temple pretty hard.

I went down, but I did not lose consciousness. I got up immediately after the incident feeling a little dazed. I had a mild headache for about an hour, but I thought I was fine and just went home as if nothing happened.

However, now I'm starting to notice some things. About 3-5 times a month, I get headaches that seem like they hurt on one inner part of the brain. These usually go away with Ibuprofen. But when I looked up symptoms of a concussion, I also noticed that there's dizziness involved. Everytime I wake up in the morning and get out of bed, I feel extremely dizzy when trying to walk, but it only lasts for about a few seconds.

I don't feel nauseous at all and haven't vomited at all since the incident. I know that its a little late, but should I be worried and call my doctor?

Better safe than sorry. See a doctor. Either it's nothing and you can be relieved, or if it is, you can get it fixed before it becomes more serious. win-win.



It's nothing to FREAK OUT about, but you probably should go to the doctor. However, the dizziness in the morning could be caused by vertigo. That's a condition that causes you to have uncontrollable dizziness sometimes, but it's not deadly or anything. Hope I helped! (:



Whatever the cause you need to have these symptoms checked out. Nothing to play with here.



yah u should just to be safe
