I am a 31 year old female. One month ago, I passed out and fell forward, hitting my head on the wall and then again when I fell completely to the floor. Since I live alone, I am not completely sure, but I believe that I was completely unconscious for approximately 35-40 minutes. Upon regaining consciousness, I cleaned and bandaged my forehead and then went to sleep and slept for 9 hours.

The next morning, I had terrible headaches, nausea and dizziness/light-headness. I did not go to the emergency room until the next day, two full days after I had this accident. There they diagnosed a grade 3 concussion. A ct scan that evening showed no bruising or bleeding in the brain.

Since that accident, I have had unexplained "black out" spells as I call them. My family doctor ordered a eeg and for the most part it came back normal. I have an appointment in one week to see a neurologist as these "black out" spells are getting worse and are getting more frequent.

Two days ago, I blacked out while driving and two prior to that, I lost consciousness while standing at a copier making copies.

I am still experiencing severe headaches, and dizzy/lightheaded spells. Can anyone tell me if this type of activity is normal after a grade 3 concussion? I do have a history since the time I was a small child of being prone to fainting/passing out, but no one ever really paid much attention, at least not until this concussion one month ago.

Thanks in advance,
