Probably not: Unless you had experienced a loss of consciousness, or have persistent headache, vision changes, numbness, tingling, or cognitive changes you likely do not need to be seen by your doctor again. Continue with recommendations already made to you by your physician. If these symptoms do occur, then please seek further management.
