Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
You have done xray to see if there are fractures ,but since you had dizziness after a hard fall the it is advisable to do a CT or MRI for your head and neck ,check with the doctor Dizziness as you may or may not know can be caused by many reasons some of which are neurological while others are not.
you must check the cause of your dizziness it it because a haematoma in the brain after a fall or because a compression or injury in the neck .
In the case of your history it is worrisome that this began after you fell , If your case is related to this fall then the likely mechanism for you injury could involve decreased blood flow to the back part of the brain (known as the brainstem).
