Concussion and dehydration
Common Questions and Answers about Concussion and dehydration
concussion
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.
After a concussion, there can be problems with regulation of heart rate and blood pressure. It's sometimes part of Post Concussion Syndrome.
You should be seen by a neurologist for evaluation--probably including a scan of your head and maybe a tilt table test--and treatment.
This really is a time to get a specialist into the game.
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.
A complete evaluation will be helpful for detecting whether the cause of this diarrhea is related to the fall or is due to some other cause. Nausea can be seen after head injury due to any concussion and can be diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. See a primary care physician. He may further refer you to a neurologist or other specialist depending on your clinical findings. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
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).
s been a year since his last concussion and he is making slow progress, but progress. Still has mood swings, ADD, and sleeplessness, but has made nice gains. He went on a flight to Scottland to visit a friend and seemed fine while in Scottland, but seemed to have regressed in symptoms when he returned home. Mood swings returned significantly and his choices and behaviors reflect significant impairment of executive function ability.
At times a subdural hematoma develops slowly and may be missed on the first MRI. Also concussion can cause persisting headaches and should be allowed to slowly subside before active sports are considered.
Injury to neck, to jaw bone, and even eyes should be considered. Get his eye sight also checked. May be the headaches are because he needs spectacles.
-Take care!
The impact of the ball caused the concussion, and the shape of his pupil is now oval. I took him to a pediatric opthamologist who did a thorough exam. He said there is no lasting damage other than the shape of the pupil, but he needed glasses. When he "recovered" from the concussion three weeks later, he tried to go back to baseball but could no longer judge the speed and distance of the ball. He had to quit. He has been moody and pesting ever since the concussion.
I assume you got immediate care for the emergency. Brain hemmorage and swelling can occur and must be addressed urgently or there will be irreparable and non-reversable damage.
That said to address the nutrition.
I think you are on the right track with an easily digestible protein and a complex carb. with brain pressure from the swelling and subsequent headache it is very common to loose all appetite. So what every liquids you can get in him, plus the protein/carb gruel is right on.
I have gotten these before aswell and I believe the throbbing headaches are coming from high blood pressure. The stimulants in the coffee and pre-workout along with the heavy lifting resulted in a large increase in BP. If you are doing the valsava breathing technique then this also contributed. In my experience after doing cardio for a couple weeks I no longer had any issues with these headaches.
Each brain injury is unique and try to get some one who can listen to you and may be a concussion specialist if you can. I am even considering Stem Cell Therapy for which I have to travel outside U.S.A.
Keep me posted if you can.
Probably you had a concussion and having Post Concussion effects. You can consult a Neuro-Otologist and Neurologist and see if you have any inner ear issues. Reason for dizziness can be very many. Get an MRI done to be safe.
The C1 was fractured in three places and he had a severe concussion concussion. Since then he’s had excessive saliva resulting in excessive coughing. He’s coughing several times a minute.
Is there any connection between brain trauma and excessive saliva?
With my last pregnancy i was put in the hospital 3 times for dehydration. Thankfully my boyfriends mother went out and got me saltines and gingerale and i have been able to hold that down.
