Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Headache and dizziness that came after a few days of the impact on head should be investigated by a MRI of the brain and cervical spine. Such an impact on top of the head can cause cervical spine injuries or nerve compressions and can also cause a slow developing sub dural hematoma. Other possibilities are minor leaks due to burst blood vessel or a mild traumatic brain injury. It can also cause TMJ problems. Ear drums also get burst or ear damage also occur post impact on head. Please push your GP for a MRI of the brain and cervical spine immediately and if not possible go to an ER for this. Take care!

I had a mild traumatic brain injury and has most of the symptoms you have plus more.  Mine happened more than a year ago.

I have been to many specialists in this area and did not get much help.  Some said it is a post concussion syndrome, meniere's syndrome etc., and each one gave a different syndrome.  all I can say is I have post concussion syndrome/tbi for sure and probably you have that too.  You are only 2 months into this and in most cases it resolves in about 6 months is what doctors told me.    

But you must go check with your doctor and do the ear tests/MRI (your symptoms warrants that) and all that.  Who knows there will something which can be addressed and you may feel lot better or back to normal.  

Good luck.
