Recent head injury? If you think you may have a concussion, seek medical assessment. For emergency signs such as a severe or worsening headache, repeated vomiting, increasing confusion, a seizure, weakness or loss of consciousness, call 000 or go to an emergency department. See Healthdirect’s concussion guidance.
When headaches or dizziness linger after concussion
You might feel better on a quiet day and notice symptoms again when you spend longer at a screen, move through a busy shop or try to exercise. Tell Kevin what brings on your symptoms and what you want to get back to. These details help guide the assessment.
What happens at your first appointment?
Kevin will ask about the injury, your medical assessment, what has changed since then and what you can manage now. Depending on your symptoms, he may assess neck movement, balance, eye movements or how you respond to activity. He’ll explain the findings and discuss a plan for rehabilitation and a gradual return to everyday activities. Where appropriate, he may recommend follow-up with your GP or another clinician.
