Common Questions and Answers about Concussion and bleeding

concussion

Avatar f tn Balance with my eyes closed is still poor, but they are comfortable it is just concussion/shock and not bleeding. I will try to take it easy for sure. Thanks again.
Avatar m tn t have any of the problems you are having now. There is a window of opportunity to reduce swelling and stop bleeding (if that is taking place) and you missed it. Have you had an MRI? Light sensitivity often (not always) indicates bleeding in the brain, which is in addition to the concussion. More bad news. You will probably have problems from neck pain about another six months down the line. Basically it's watchful waiting, but you really need an MRI and an MRA.
Avatar f tn the hospital said that I had a chest contusion, concussion, and strain muscle in my back and neck. Now my abdomen is hurting, and I am bleeding black blood.what does this mean.
Avatar f tn I had a metal iron shelf fall on my head at work 4 months ago, got a concussion and ended up with post traumatic concussion syndrome. He needs to go to the doctor!!!!! He needs to have a CT or MRI to check for headbleeding then he needs to see a neurologist and let them run test!!!!! It's so important. They told me if I hit my head again I'll have permanent damage.
Avatar f tn About 3 days ago The trunk of an acquaintances car slammed down on my head and gashed it pretty good. I know I needed stitches but I didnt go to the doctor. It bled alot at first then slowed down and stopped completely around 8 hours later. it seems to be healing but is still slightly an openish soar. I had a headache of course for the past three days which has reduced to a dull ache. There is a loss of feeling around the area, accept the gash which is more sore.
Avatar f tn Hello~I would not worry. CT scans can show if there is swelling or bleeding in the brain or a fracture in the skull. If you have signs of a serious injury, a CT scan is usually the best first test to diagnose it. As to the concussion being permanent, in most cases, a single concussion should not cause permanent damage.

An extreme hit like from a car crash can cause the brain to swell and the pressure in the skull to increase which will lead to brain damage, maybe coma and possibly death. This is also unlikely. Let us return to the concussions which is the most probable outcome of a hard hit to the head.
Avatar n tn ) to recover from post concussion syndrome? Recent MRI shows no bleeding/bruising. Any info you could give me would be helpful.
Avatar f tn 3 days after incident i took a nap in bed and i woke up and turned my head from my right side over to my left and it felt like i could feel ice cold water inside my head moving to my left side, where my knot was from incident, and it felt as if it was coving that area. I felt my head because i thought maybe i was bleeding because why else would my head feel wet. Also, since then I’ve randomly became in a state of unfamiliarity, nothing will seems real or fimiliar. I get panic attacks now.
Avatar n tn So this morning as I was getting out of the car, I smashed the back of my head into the door frame. I didn't feel anything until an hour later when I got an intense throbbing pain in my skull. Over the next couple hours, the pain moved from the back of my head to the front area. When I walked outside and when my eye caught the projectors light I was blinded by a sharp pain that made me dizzy.
Avatar f tn You need to go to the hospital Accident and Emergency urgently to get examined for concussion, xrayed to see if you have cracked scull and for any evidence of brain haemorrhage. Having your head banged with such force is very serious and it appears that you have got symptoms of concussion. It is important to get seen to immediately, so as to ensure there is no brain haemorrhage. If your vision starts to get worse, this is a very situation to be in. Please go to the hospital and checked out.
Avatar m tn I was involve in a very bad car accident 02/10 and have no memory of the actual wreck. the hospital deemed I have a severe concussion and then also diagnosed me with Post Concussion Syndrome. I am currently also experiencing back and neck problems as well as getting a collarbone checked out for a possible fracture. My question is does coffee effect concussion and PCS recovery. And how long does recovery generally take.
Avatar n tn one week after concussion my 14 week malteese turns in circles all day what can this be.
Avatar f tn G'day. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area-don't know where else to put it. I've had a concussion for about 9 days now with "usual, mild-average" symptoms. The last couple days have been like the first couple days, cannot rest my head at night from the pain, taking two 650 mg Tylenols when I think of it, also seem more confused & forgetful (before major loss of sleep). The last 48 hrs. I've slept for 40 min's.
Avatar f tn and was hit in the head from other team mates going for the ball,he was suppossably knocked out for at least 5 min or more,and when he came too no one was around and he didnt even know what had happen to him,he just remebers gettting up from off the ground,when my father went to pick him up from school he told me that my son was looking sorta gazed at him complaining that his head hurts bad and that he couldnt see good,now at the school function there was no adults around at no part of the prac
Avatar f tn ve been nausous since, went to the hospital a bunch of times and was diagnosed with a concussion. They did a CT scan and everything seems normal. Same with neurological test (Where they ask you those weird questions) I'm worried that later on i'm going to have iternal bleeding randomly, or some kind of swelling that will permantly affect me. Will this go away soon by itself or do I have to worry about a random bleed or episode that could be life threatening?
Avatar f tn Four days ago I slipped, fell and hit the back of my head on a concrete boat dock. The next morning I went to an urgent care clinic and was diagnosed with a concussion. The doctor had a CT scan of my head done and said there was no bleeding or damage to my skull at the time. Is there any chance that bleeding as a result of my head injury could be delayed and start up a few days after hitting my head?
Avatar f tn If MRI picks up anything it may be fixed at early stage (like CSF leaks, minute bleeding etc.,). I personally know some one who CSF leak after they had a mild concussion and suffered. Finally she went to John Hopkins where they fixed and she is doing excellent now. As rumpled suggests go to doctor as soon as you can. good luck.
Avatar f tn I immediately noticed a few small clumps of hair on my fingers, and when I got home, I saw that it was red, but not bleeding, and a few more single hairs were coming out. Also my nose was cut pretty bad, and auctually bleeding, but I am not worried as that is just a deep cut. I feel no headache so what should I do?
Avatar f tn I was camping and yes, drinking was involved -- and took a nasty spill, and face planted into a large rock but thankfully we had an EMT and military medic with us. I have a puncture about two inches above my left eyebrow, was told it was about an inch deep. Our sobers ( we are semi responsible campers, after all! ) drove me to the ER after the medic/EMT attempted butterfly stitches to no avail.
Avatar f tn I know the symptoms I have are a part of the concussion but they are bad (bec I already have the chiari symptoms) and it has been since Friday and I still feel HORRIBLE! I see a chiari specialist at the end of the month but in the mean time could this hitting my head on the wall possibly made things worse? (I did not have a ct for the concussion, the dr. just diagnosed me by my symptoms and what happened).
Avatar n tn I had all your symptoms and later on they found I had bleeding on my brain and still suffering with Post Concussion Symptoms after 2 years 2 months. Go to ER (or any doctor) asap and get evaluated.
Avatar f tn Your nightmares are probably related to your concussion and the sexual attack as psychological trauma are commonly at the bottom of the. Have you considered getting some deep psychotherapy? Melatonin might be tricky as it has been found to also increase stress hormones and is involved in inflammation and metabolic disturbances (see http://www.supplements-and-health.com/tryptophan-side-effects.html ).
Avatar f tn My head hurt right after and I had on and off headaches yesterday. I was also dizzy and felt a little nauseous. Last night and today my neck has been feeling very painful. It hurts in the back and especially in the front by my windpipe and on the sides. Other then the neck pain none of the other symptoms remain. Should I get it checked out? Is it a concussion what do you think?
Avatar m tn what ended up happening, we too have a two year old who 'probably had a concussion' and we were at the ER twice last Saturday and she keeps pointing to her eye that it hurts...
Avatar n tn you sustained a head injury followed by dizziness and shaking sensation. There would have been bleeding and concussion injury to the brain causing these symptoms. This calls for an emergency hospital visit because hematomas behave differently, it could enlarge rapidly deteriorating the consciousness. If it is a subdural hematoma, surgical decompression done as early as possible reaps remarkable recovery.
Avatar n tn I went to a chyropractor and he over extended my neck causing my my Aorta Arterie to tear then clog resulting in bleeding in my head and then a stroke..I came recovered my speach and balance ...er mobility pretty fast, like with in a month or two if i remember right. though my memory is horrid like it feels as if my short term has been damaged and noise though didn't bother me till recently ...noise hurts my head now and causes me anxiety. now though to my issue...
Avatar f tn In october 2011 my son was injured in a football game and suffered a subderal hematoma which he was taken to cardial glennon to be treated however surgury was not required the bleeding stopped and absorbed quickly the doctors attributed this to youth and God. He was not allowed to play the rest of the year, but was cleared to wrestle when the season started, his cat scans all came back good and he recovered really well.
