10 Symptoms of Concussion
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Dizziness
The dizziness associated with concussions often occurs in tandem with the woozy sense of confusion that many people feel. This can be particularly apparent when you stand up too soon or make any sudden movements. The room will start to spin, and you’ll probably feel like finding a seat again very quickly.
Dizziness can be quite impairing. If you experience dizziness after your injury you should make sure that you’re not going to be operating any heavy machinery or driving any vehicles. These dizzy spells can jump out of nowhere and make it difficult for you to function, but they tend to decrease in frequency as you heal.
