Default Newbie with a concussion - advice please!

Hi Everyone!

So glad to find this forum!!!

2 weeks ago today I passed out in the shower and landed on my head and face. I was out for about 45 seconds. My DH got me out of the shower and then I passed out again, hitting the back of my head. I cant remember much except seeing him calling to me and then thinking I was going to be late for work. We went to the hospital, and I spent 3 nights as I was dehydrated and it caused low blood volume. They did a CT and an MRI which came back normal. I had terrible headaches in the hospital and dizziness as well. I also notice the first night an annoying loud ringing in my ears!!

My GP recommende no work last week or this week for me. Im still experiencing dizziness, extreme fatigue, sleeping alot, ringing in the ears, balance issues at times and headaches at times although they are not nearly as intense as they were.

So on Thursday, Im going to a concussion/vestibular specialist. What would I expect to happen in that appt that is different from my GP? or what I did in the hospital?

Also, my bruising is almost gone, but it was across my forehead, bridge of my nose, under my eye, under my chin, on my neck, collarbone and hip. Like a diagonal line where I hit the edge of the tub. I also had alot of pain in the back of my neck. Im thinking of getting a massage???

Thoughts? Help???

Thanks, Wendy
