Headache after Injury

A headache after an injury often results from trauma to the brain or surrounding tissues, causing inflammation, pressure changes, or nerve irritation. It can also stem from muscle strain in the neck or head due to pain or tension. Such headaches may develop immediately or over time and are sometimes accompanied by other symptoms like dizziness or nausea. While mild headaches may improve with rest, persistent or severe headaches should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out serious conditions like concussions or brain injury. Prompt assessment ensures appropriate management and recovery.
