Common Questions and Answers about Concussion blow
concussion
Yesterday I suffered mild blow to the head. I have hit my head many times before, much harder than yesterday and yet, I've never experienced any symptoms that might be indicative of concussion. Yesterday, however, I felt a bit dizzy for a few minutes immediately after having been hit. Also, 15 minutes following the blow, I started to feel a bit nauseated.
Who. A cuncussion is a result of a blow to a head. Forgive me if I don't see the connection between "tire blow-out" and "head injury". If there was a concussion there is a "window of opportunity" to prevent swelling that has probably passed. If these symptoms are present without a blow to the head he needs an evaluation for a stroke. He should be evaluated at an emergency room ASAP.
A more sever blow to eye will cause eye damage more than concussion. However if it was the forehead area then also blue black eye is a possibility. Concussion can occur if the forehead was hit hard. By now she must have settled down However is she has vision problems, headache, nausea etc then consult a doctor ASAP (maybe ER)
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
I took a blow to the back of my head 3 days ago, it was pretty hard but I did not lose consciousness or get dizzy. My vision has been fine also. I do have a headache now for three days. Should I be concerned?

A concussion is a specific syndrome secondary to a blow to the head. Impacts to the skull that produce a concussion can certainly cause death, if not quickly addressed in an appropriate medical facility. The cause of death is usually due to lack of oxygen to the brain secondary to swelling and the oclusion of the supply of blood and nutrients. To cut to the chase, just because you or your child has a concussion does not mean you are going to die.
The first was a blow to the front of my head and I was unconscious for 3 1/2 hours. The second was a blow to the back of my head, were I was dizzy immediately afterwards (then it went away). After a few hours the dizziness came back and I had lost all memories of those few hours has well has my short term memory for the following 5h (according to a friend I was with).
The tricky thing comes with everything else that happened afterwards.
I have read that internal brain bleeding can occur as long as 6 or 7 weeks after a hard blow on the head,and by the time you have the symptoms of it, it has progressed to the point of being dangerous and needing possible surgery.
Please see your doctor ASAP!!
Sounds like you might have a concussion. A concussion is a mild brain injury caused by a knock or blow to the head or a sudden change in motion. See a doctor just in case.
Loss of consciousness isn’t required for a diagnosis of concussion or post concussion syndrome. Post concussion syndrome occurs within first 7 to 10 days and until 3 months. Symptoms are variable including dizziness, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, loss of concentration and memory, light and noise sensitivity, headache varying from a tension type to cluster headaches. You need to consult a neurologist immediately.

It is abundantly clear that in some cases concussions may result in seizures. That is not a "theory". It is a medical fact. It doesn't require "discussion". But not all concussions result in a seizure. There can be varying degrees of damage depending on the severity off the blow, where the impact takes place, and from resultant swelling, and if there is a delay in seeking medical attention. A "concussion" is not a "concussion".
I had about five drinks on an empty stomach (not one of my better decisions), and it hit me unusually hard. I never have issues remembering nights even with heavy drinking, but I'm really foggy about most of the details of the later half of my night. My friend told me I hit the back of my head really hard on a concrete wall (more than once).
Since then i have a nice lump where my head took the initial blow, but there is also a second spot on the top/rightback'ish side of my head that is just as tender and sore. But there was no blow to that part of my head.
Could i have a concussion and not know it?
Could i have fractured or injured the top/back of my head by taking a blow to the forehead?

Have you ever heard of white brain matter developing from a somewhat medium blow to the head causing or a mild concussion injury? - Or even a severe blow to the head. . .and if so how long would it take to show up.
Or would it be correct that white brain matter is caused entirely by unhealthy habits, such as smoking, drinking and extended use of multiple medications.

My boyfriend shifted positions in bed last night and his arm forcefully collided with my jaw/chin. It really hurt my jaw initially and it still feels pretty tense with a dull ache on that side about an hour later. I have tmj and that's the side of my jaw that pops in place the most so that of course doesn't help. However, I know habe a headache on that side of my head.

If the head injury is serious there can be a tinkling sensation due to a head and neck injury...symptoms of a concussion can be subtle and may not be immediately apparent. Symptoms and that includes a headache can last for days, weeks or even longer.
You may want to see a doctor depending on the severity of a blow to the head that can cause a blood clot.
