I got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

I've been feeling really weak and fatigued for the past week, along with more hair loss and burning sensations in my hands and legs. I also have constant headaches, poor memory, and trouble sleeping deeply just restless sleep with bad memories. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency a month ago and took Subneoro for 10 days after my piles laser surgery. My CBC is normal, no iron deficiency, and calcium levels are good too. Are all these symptoms just from B12 deficiency or could there be something else going on?
