Last Saturday I had some friends over and we drank too much. As embarrassing as this is, I was stumbling my way over to the patio door to go into the house and face planted on the concrete before I got there. I tried to get up then before I could do so I fell backwards and hit the back of my head.

Since then I'm still experiencing dizziness (mostly if I lean forward.) After doing some reading I've been laying down and resting (without TV or other external stimulation) trying to recover. I work from home, so I can currently do a very minimal amount of work and rest most of the day. I have also avoided any alcohol since this happened.

I just now called my GP and was told they don't have equipment to scan and I would have to go to the emergency room to get this checked out.

This happened Saturday night and it is now Tuesday - and on Friday I am supposed to drive about 200 miles to pick up my kiddo from her summer vacation.

Any feedback is appreciated.

yogicat,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

You are doing the right thing to recover. You are very early and likely will recover with just some rest. The driving issue is a iffy one. If you are experiencing dizziness, I suggest you find another way to get her home.

My best to you.

Agreed with Mark. Keep resting and I personally wouldnt drive. You could potentially be risking harming yourself, your daughter, and others.

Welcome yogikat.

Thank you all for the welcome and the advice!

I almost forgot to ask. I've been doing yoga for about five years. I realize that physical activity should be avoided, but has anyone had any experience with very light, slow vinyasa yoga and/or meditation in this type of case?
