I'm 21 years old and a male and I'm not overweight or had any other health problems besides ibs which I've had forever.

I didn't sleep one day and it caused me to bump my head on a stone pillar at my university while walking quite slowly and wearing a beenie which also cushioned my head when I hit it. All I thought when I hit it was that it hurt more than I thought and got a bit off balance but I felt fine afterwards.

When I went to sleep and took a nap and woke up I felt really dizzy and couldn't focus. So I went to the ER and got a catscan and also went to a neuraologist a week later who hooked some probes to my head and it the results for both of those tests were fine.

One thing after I got the concussion was that my ears keep popping when I swallow, and it's been like this for about 5 months and hasn't gotten any better. I asked them about this but they didn't have any answers.

I felt my symptoms go away for the most part except the ear clicking for pcs about 3 months later. Unfortunately I brought them back this month after doing an all nighter. After I slept when I woke up I felt so dizzy (I think a vasovagal attack) and I feel like crap. It's been about 3 weeks since then and I still feel really dizzy sometimes out of a sudden but at other times I feel fine.

I went to an ENT who checked for fluid in my ears and did a frequency test and there was no water or hearing loss in my ears. He said the ear clicking was most likely that the inner nerves in my ear have become hyper sensitive from the concussion. He asked about what types of dizziness I'm having and I told him it feels like passing out and general pressure, not vertigo like symptoms.

So basically I am trying to stop feeling dizzy. It seems really bad if I even get slightly dehydrated so I often have to drink some gatorade. I assume just trying to wait this out would be my best plan, but it seems weird to me how a non severe bump to my head could cause so many issues, especially at age 21. Anyone have any advice?
