Q: Often fainting after a head injury is a sign of what disease?

Ask
Hello doctor!
About 4 years ago I had tooth decay, the pain was terrible and I had to take painkillers continuously, sometimes every 2 hours because I couldn't stand it. The toothache lasted for about 3-5 months, then I used male medicine so there was no pain anymore.
Then I got kicked in the head and fainted. Since then, I have fainted once a year, this year, I fainted more often, almost once a month (once during Tet, once in March and once yesterday). Every time I was about to faint, my body broke out in a cold sweat, numb and gradually could not hear or see anything. Also, I don't know why but I often feel weak and shaky. Doctor tell me what's wrong with my condition? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Hello!
If you still have toothache, you should go to a specific doctor to treat it completely.
In the case of a stone falling on the head and fainting, you should go to a doctor of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery and General Internal Medicine to be examined and have an accurate diagnosis, then the doctor will give specific advice. can give you directions for treatment.
