Headache after head injury is okay?

Question
Hello doctor,
Almost 2 months ago I fell from a car, I went to the hospital, the doctor said it was a traumatic brain injury. The doctor had an appointment to see the doctor again, but I subjectively did not go to the doctor, recently I have a lot of headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, and even a hangover. So the doctor asked me if my headache after a head injury is okay? What should I do doctor? I thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have a headache after a head injury? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Reports indicate that up to 90% of people with a head injury may have a headache later. However, assessing headache problems in patients with a history of head trauma is not different from patients without head trauma, in which there are 2 main groups of causes:
Group 1: No physical cause, in there are common causes such as migraine headache, tension headache,... Group 2: There are physical causes, in which common causes are: U, bleeding,... Ideally, you need visit a facility with a specialty in neurology, to be assessed for headache nature, neurological function and possibly cranial imaging (if necessary), for an accurate diagnosis and treatment direction. Specifically.
If you still have questions about headache after head injury, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
