concussion

Avatar n tn I have been sleeping well besides being anxious about the possibility of a concussion. This morning I feel as if my upper cheek/right below my eye area is falling asleep/going numb. There's sensation to it when I touch it, but it feels a little tingly. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Avatar m tn the first day after a few hours of sleep i woke up with a plugged left ear feeling and a slight numbness on the left side of my face and the inability to focus i was dazed, on day 2 the inability to focus remains and i noticed that while walking and looking around my eyes un-focus and i get dizzy and nauseous for a few seconds and then i go back to normal all while still being kind of dazed and unfocused. is that normal? are those symptoms of concussion? will they go away alone with time?
Avatar n tn He is now experiencing numbness and tingling in his hands. He has an appt with his GP...I told him to go to the ER? What should he do. He also has a little jaw pain.
Avatar f tn A little over two months ago I had a concussion without the loss of consciousness. Nothing showed up on a ct scan. Ever since my vision has worsened, I have had horrible headaches, and today experienced the worst headache. I was vomitting and could not see straight. I also had tingling in my arms, hands, and feet. I also feel a numbness in my face and a strong pain in my neck.
Avatar n tn You really do need to talk to your doctor. Is it numbness from nerve involvement from the trauma area where you had stitches or is it numbness due to a concussion you may have suffered? I'd want to know the source and think you need to ask your doctor. Nerve injury can resolve though, yes. Sometimes providing therapy can help speed it along.
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 n tn I had a slight concussion, and whip lash. Ever since then I have had severe headaches on the left side of my head and frequent dizziness. The headaches start on the left side of my neck and travel into my head. I wake up in severe pain everyday, and if I move my neck the wrong way or sleep the wrong way, I am severly dizzy all day. This has been very dibilatating during the past two years. I spent months in physical therapy and there was no real relief.
Avatar n tn She then attempted to vomit unsuccesfully many times before fading in and out of concsiousness. Is that concussion or is it more serious?? she went to hospital i dont really know her but i want to know if she is ok!
16948797 tn?1452582673 You had a concussion. The numbness was due to nerve entrapment. In general there is a window of opportunity to treat these injuries and it does not exceed 24 hours. The drill in an ER is to provide medications that stop brain swelling in it's tracks, generally through use of a steroid. It is impossible to say if you suffered brain damage. One school of thought is that with every concussion there is some irreversible damage to the brain. Maybe yes. Maybe no.
Avatar f tn Though Asperger’s by it self will not prolong concussion, the diagnosis of concussion in Asperger’s is often overlooked and some other cause or the disease itself attributed to as a cause of symptoms post injury. Hence it is important to consult a neuro-psychiatrist. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn things that started to happen were after another concussion. That was where the cough headaches began and numbness, and all the other Chiari goodies. Although we are born with it, it appers that just the right combination of hits to the head can activate things. I know exactly when I hit my head and things started happening, it took about five years after though to be to be at the point where I really knew something was wrong.
Avatar m tn I got a concussion about a month ago during a dance performance and, while I no longer feel like there is a veil over my world, I am now experiencing headaches that feel like sinus headaches running from the base of my skull up over the right side of my head and down into my right eye/nose. Just 30 minutes ago, I felt the back of my neck burning, smelled the aroma of rubbing alcohol intensely in my nostrils and felt like I might throw up or pass out.
Avatar m tn in retrospect a mild concussion. Everything seemed to be improving, then a few months later I started to have muscle weakness, unexplained pain, and fatigue. The weakness was the most limiting problem, and physical therapists said I had somehow worked my muscles to the point that they "quit", without feeling any pain. MRIs were done from the neck down, and I've had all sorts of diagnoses thrown at me since then, from fibromyalgia to malingering.
Avatar n tn I also had some numbness of Lt leg and weakness of Rt. hand for few hours that spontaneously resolved. After 28 hours, I was completely symptom free. Due to insurance issues and also since at that time I did not feel that my injury was serious, I did not get a formal evaluation or a CT scan done. However today ( after 48hours of injury) when I was driving my car, I had stopped at a stop light. When I accelerated my car(from stop), due to inertia my head went rapidly forward and back.
Avatar f tn I am a 23 year old Female who has been dealing with headaches, dizziness, forgetfulness, blurred vision in one eye and occasional numbness on side of head and also hands and feet occasionally. 2 months ago I suffered from a concussion. At the hospital they did a CT scan and an MRI and didn't see any swelling or bleeding on the brain, but told me that it could occur later on? I have also recently started experiencing pain in my neck. I have been under a great deal of stress as well.
