Avatar m tn I am also doing some controlled exercise on bike and key thing is not to push too much. If you are in Toronto you can consult Dr.Leddy at University of Buffalo concussion clinic.
Avatar f tn Eating a salty snack, taking a magnesium supplement and B vitamins, and drinking a glass of milk before going to sleep may be helpful.
Avatar m tn We want to thank you your excellent information! You have been through a lot and are now a wealth of information and hope you come back to our forums. Dry needling is probably something most people do not know about.
Avatar f tn They also suffers from post-concussive syndrome include severe sleep disruption, and this symptom seems to have started around the time of the concussion. My question is – Are there any treatments for Hyperosmia?
Avatar n tn Some people may manifest the symptoms longer and the condition is termed as post concussion syndrome. Repeated concussions are known to double the risk. So, please have him evaluated to rule out this condition. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn You may have a concussion and go to ER or PCP asap and get a CT Scan/MRI just to make sure there is no bleeding or anything. Nausea/headache/amnesia is something not to be ignored.
Avatar n tn Even if it's not a concussion it's always better to play it safe than sorry with head related issues. I'd, at the least, call a doctor for some advice. Hope it turns out alright.
Avatar f tn p.s. my husband said that night I was talking weird when I went to go to sleep saying all kinds of strange things he has never heard me say. I really don't remember it at all. Idk..I was talking about him going somewhere and all kinds of stuff.

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 n tn But yours started after a fall and a doctor saying you had a concussion. You need to advocate for yourself in a stronger way and eliminate any physiological explanation before attributing this to anxiety. Concussions are nothing to fool around with; I mean, it's not the worst thing in the world, but the problems do last a while. Get a better doctor if this one doesn't give you what you feel you need to solve this puzzle.
Avatar n tn I have neen diagnosed with concussion syndrome it has been 20 months since I have worked also have slight herrniated disc with a pinched nerve and loss if lordosis in my neck. I have loss of executive functioning. I go the wrong way on one way streets. I drive the wrong direction to a familiar destination. I get feelings like my jead is floating above itself/ euphoric/swimming/light headed. Headaches all the time. Poor short term memory. Aphasia.
Avatar n tn ppl act as though you are faking or being over dramatic and you try your hardest to make thru the day. BE STRONG. find someone to talk to if you have too. if you'd like, try a second opinion - maybe with a different neurologist. have you had an MRI?? good luck!!
Avatar m tn A sever head blow is likely to cause headaches. If you develop nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc then consult a doctor immediately. These symptoms develop if there is a brain injury or bleed. Otherwise this pressure will go in a few days. However, it is important to get a medical evaluation. So please consult your doctor once. Take care!
Avatar m tn Definitely go see a doctor - concussion is very serious and if you can't speak properly it is bad news! Get some help right away!
Avatar n tn I don't know if it makes a difference, but I've noticed that the headaches & nausea are worse in the light than in the dark. Also, I've been having trouble remembering things that I normally wouldn't forget. I also can't focus on reading. I feel like I've read some pages 10 times and not gotten anywhere. I feel nauseated, but not like I'm going to puke. My neck still hurts, but I have a prior pinched nerve in my neck. My head just feels fuzzy.
Avatar f tn About four nights ago whilewe were sound asleep my cat decided it would be thE perfect time to Ty for the first time to jump onto out headboard from the nightstand. Out headboard is about three and a half to four feet higher than our heads while we sleep. We have this rectangular block that has candles in it ( made of wood) on our headboard which she knocked off and it fell right on our heads. It weighs about 4 lbs.
Avatar m tn Were you diagnosed with a concussion? When you went back to the ER did they do a concussion test?
602261 tn?1252583158 Sorry to hear about the concussion man! If you think you need to go see a Dr, go to a close by urgent care center.
Avatar f tn I suffered a concussion 4 months ago when I fell during a parade with my high school band. My mom took me to the ER and I was diagnosed with a concussion. I had a CT scan and nothing was out of the ordinary, and it seemed to just be a mild concussion. 4 months later, I'm still having issues. I'm a junior in high school and concentration and memory issues made me switch out of all of my honors classes into regular ones and drop both math and science completely.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I have a serious concussion and I have strained my trapiuses muscle... I also have osgood schlatters in one leg and I can't run with out getting dizzy due to the concussion... I really need to work out ... I have been out for a month ... Please and thank you !
Avatar f tn can you get sleep apnea from being in a car accident...I have whiplash and a concussion and PTSD..now I'm being checked for sleep apnea..
Avatar f tn I explained the numbness in my feet and headache and exhaustion and was diagnosed with a concussion. Since going home from the er my symptoms are not improving. I sleep all the time and my headache is getting worse and not responding to meds. My vision keeps getting blurry even going completely black and my feet still have numbness that isn't going away. I'm very dizzy and feel flushed. Upon looking into the mirror I noticed I'm extremely pale.
Avatar f tn My depression is due to the reason I cannot go out and do things as I used to do because of headaches, dizziness, fatigue and lost my smell and taste because of the head injury, has non-stop tinnitus etc., I struggle with suicidal thoughts too and I tried anit-depressants but made things worse since my underlying cause was not resolved. But yours may be a different reason since you already had those thoughts and concussion aggravated it. But you can get help.
Avatar n tn Your symptoms could be due to migraine or PCS ( post concussion syndrome ) because of the concussion that you had years ago.Please go for an MRI brain to know the exact cause and consult a neurologist for treatment as a delay could be dangerous. There are chances of getting a stroke. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards !
Avatar n tn After initial treatment, it is important to go to your follow-up appointments for evaluation and monitoring. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar m tn To cut to the chase, just because you or your child has a concussion does not mean you are going to die. There are always exceptions, but usually a mild concussion will resolve by itself with no long lasting effects.
Avatar m tn If you're an athlete with post-concussion syndrome, you may have heard about Sidney Crosby and his experiences. He went to the Carrick Institute. If you can't go see them (I don't know where you are located), maybe you can find a doctor on their find a doctor list - https://acnb.org/DoctorLocator.aspx It's hard to say if this was a setback, or something more. Are you seeing a neurologist? You mention a doctor, but didn't specify. Hang in there.
