What causes nausea, speech problem and swollen eye after a head injury?
Patient: I got a severe concussion 5 days ago. CT scan was fine. I vomited for a couple days. Still nauseous. Balance is bad. Vision is strange- white lights, tilted, everything is farther away. Speech problems. I m easily agitated & other than that my emotional feelings are flat. Other things but I think you get the point. I have an eeg & MRI scheduled for next week. This afternoon my right eye started to hurt. Tonight, it s swollen and looks like a black eye. It hurts worse. I hit the very back top of my head FYI. Do I have to go back to ER again? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history indicates you should do two things now:-1)Do a Detailed point wise neurological clinical examination by a neuro surgeon 2)Do a MRI scan now ,not in next week3)Now admit yourself where neurosurgical ICU unit is present. I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best. Thanks
