Head injuries may cause symptoms such as headache and dizziness. In some people, the impact to the head is minor and does not result in significant damage; these individuals may only experience mild headache, dizziness, slight edema, or localized scalp swelling. However, others who fall with great force may suffer severe damage to nerves and the brain, leading to increased intracranial pressure, nausea, vomiting, and severe headaches.
