Subdural haematoma

Heavy lifting or vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 6 weeks after the injury based on expert consensus.

The patient should seek medical advice if experiencing headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, sensory changes, vision changes, cognitive changes, hearing changes, speech/comprehension changes, or altered mental status. Decisions on resumption of antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants, including aspirin, are individualised and the patient should be advised to follow specific recommendations from the treating neurosurgeon and other specialists involved in their care.
