So last night I fell off my horse. It wasn't a bad fall, he was basically walking. I landed on my back and I felt ok, just sore. I woke today with bad neck and back pain and soreness and stiffness in my arm and leg, which I expected, but- I don't know why I feel extremely nauseous and sick. I've never felt sick after a fall before. Is this nausea normal after an injury? I didn't hit my head and I was wearing my helmet. Thanks.

    You could have internal injuries. My friend fell off her horse and got a ruptured spleen. I fell off and got knocked out and they checked me for ruptured spleen also. I think it's somewhat common. You should get checked out! Better safe than sorry especially with the risk of concussion or internal injury.

    You can get a concussion even without hitting your head. With enough shock the medulla oblongata "shakes" a little bit and, as we know, the medulla oblongata controls all kinds of wonderful things that show you that you're not fine.

    see a doctor, probably nothing serious but better be on the safe side.

    Did you hit your head? Nausea is a symptom of a concussion.
