Subdural haematoma

The patient should call a physician if experiencing headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, sensory changes, vision changes, cognitive changes, hearing changes, speech/comprehension changes, or altered mental status. Use of antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants, including aspirin, should be avoided unless specifically recommended by both the personal physician and the treating neurosurgeon. Heavy lifting or vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 6 weeks after the injury.
