Post Concussion Blacked Out

[JKJ]

I was in a car accident about a month ago and had a mild concussion along with injury to my C2-C5.  I've had horrible headaches every since the accident.  Just yesterday it was so bad that I actually blacked out (hit the floor).  I'm dizzy quite often, have ringing in my ears also.  
I'm being treated by a chiropractor for my neck injury.
Any thoughts?

Get a c-spine MRI.  I was in a car accident 15 years ago, walked around w/pain and got therapy, etc... and finally found out that I had a broken neck!  I got a fusion from C2-C6.  It is important to look further if you are still having pain, because it can mean the difference between a good result and not.  Keep me posted.

Thanks for commenting...right after the accident I had a head and neck CT scan and the docs said everything was in one piece.  Then before doing any work on me the chiropractor did several neck x-rays and said nothing was broken.

The term he used is "military neck" saying that my C2-C5 are straight up and down instead of curved like they should be.

Wondering if the headaches are from the neck injury (and treatment) or the concussion.  It was considered a high speed accident....45mph.

wow; forgot to mention also that i was in another car accident about 6 months ago...not as bad; but was rear-ended and did have a nasty headache for several days after that accident.

2 accidents in 6 months....i guess my brains are scrambled!!!
