Question

I'm feeling really dizzy in the mornings, and it's been happening again. After waking up today, the dizziness just hit me out of nowhere and lasted all day. I actually experienced the same thing about four weeks ago, and that time it went on for three days straight. I just thought it was normal back then, but now it's back and kind of freaking me out. Could this be due to dehydration or maybe something with my blood pressure? I checked my BP and it was 120. What should I do about this?

What does neuropathic pain feel like?

Question

I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?
