Kind of an open-ended question/ thread.....
Is there any theory or explanation for why dizziness/vertigo/nausea occurs? Any treatment options or strategies that people have found to be helpful? |

Some of those symptoms can be from the upper cervical (c1 c2/atlas/axis) being misaligned due to the head hit injury.
from the useful sticky thread- http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post735715-11.html

I think that any dizziness / vertigo should be assessed by a vestibular specialist. There are many different things that could be causing the dizziness, and they have special tools to help figure that out. A lot of it is treatable with therapy.

The headaches and dizziness are a RESULT of the brain being overloaded. When the brain is overloaded, it is injured more and takes longer to heal. It's like if you run with a knee injury then it's going to hurt because the knee is being overexerted and you will injure it more.
It was always hard to explain the pain level and dizziness to the doctor because I felt fine sitting around the house, but if I went out and did things or worked on the computer then I felt dizzy and my head would hurt for a week. |

When recovering from a concussion you want to keep your activity level within capacity at all times. If you do so, then your brain will heal. As your brain heals, the capacity line will rise. As that line rises, you will be able to sustain more and more activity without aggravating your head.
But if you exceed capacity, then that line will drop a whole lot faster than it will come back up. And no matter how low that line goes, you have to stay below it. |
