Common Questions and Answers about Concussion on babies

concussion

Avatar m tn s a bit indented, and only hurts mildly when pressed (I have headaches, but honestly those are probably from worrying about it so much). Apparently it looks and feels like the soft spots babies have on their heads. I'm seriously freaking out and it's causing me a lot of anxiety...I'm going to see a doctor pretty soon but what does this mean? I'm stressing about it constantly.
Avatar m tn Alright so let me start off by saying i know how ridiculous this sounds but I need to be sure. Im 18.Today was a normal morning, I went to the my couch and kinda jumped down into it. I landed on my butt with my body toward the tv. when i landed though i felt a sort of "thump" on the top of my head when i landed almost as if my brain hit the top of my skull. I wouldn't say I have a headache like getting your bell rung, but lets just say i felt a lot better before I sat down.
Avatar f tn The next day it wasnt bothering me too bad so I didnt go to the doctor to see if i did have a concussion. Well ever since that weekend, i have pressure headaches on the right side of my head. It hurts on the right side of my neck too and around my ear area, but this is on the right side not the left where i got hit. I've been trying to figure out what might be wrong or if it's just an allergy headache that i get everyday. I havent been to the doc yet, not sure if its serious enough..
8506420 tn?1398432580 Hi, So sorry to hear your little one ran into a door. I am not sure where you got your medical info or what symptom you investigated. If it was the head /eye injury, I would think they would not just tell you it would go away on it's own, nor would the fowl smell from babies butt. Both should be checked out by a Vet , who needs to "see" and examine these conditions. My suggestion is to dismiss something you read and validate it by visiting your vet....but that's just me.
Avatar f tn About four months back I hit my head and got a slight concussion. About two months ago I started noticing a small lump where I hit my head. The lump grew a bit bigger and a few more appeared as well. I've been getting migraines a lot and I never got them much before. The lumps don't cause pain but when I touch them I can definitly feel a lot of pressure and they are pretty hard. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn Hi, I am an 18 year old male who is still suffering from the effects of multiple concussions in high school. I had one my junior year, which was not too serious, and the effects of it soon cleared up. However, the next year, I received a violent blow to the head (football again) in which my mouthpiece wasn't in correctly. I was wearing a revolution helmet, the supposedly concussion proof helmets, which cracked all the way down the side from where I got hit.
Avatar m tn A doctor generally looks for focal neurological or generalized neurological symptoms that would show there is a pressure on brain somewhere. In absence of these symptoms and based on the history a diagnosis of concussion is given. If concussion is severe, and there is underlying brain injury, then yes, even death can occur. Hope this helps! Take care!
Avatar f tn I can say this, as a person who has had multiple, multiple, multiple concussions, that sex definitely has an impact on concussion symptoms and recovery. Regarding masturbation, this I can not for certain, but if it involves somewhat strenuous movement to the head, then yes, it could affect and could exacerbate symptoms. I don't masturbate, but I have had, sex during concussion recovery and my symptoms always increase afterward, even if the sex is not strenuous.
Avatar f tn as i was involved in an auto accident, he seems to be concentrating on those injuries (concussion with post concussion syndrome, and cervical sprain. do these injuries cause such wide spread symptoms as i am getting? it is getting very difficult for me to walk. it feels as though i am walking through water against the current. i tried walking yesterday and it was painful. i walked for two blocks nonetheless. last nite my legs were in excruciating pain all nite long.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn The only exercises you should be doing is what the physiotherapist suggests for your pulled trap muscle, after your doctor was given the OK, since you had a serious concussion. The OS is another issue altogether. Is it recurring or chronic? You may need to see a sports medicine specialist for that, after you have fully recovered from your concussion.
Avatar f tn Could a series of bumps on the upper right side of my head that are very tender to the touch be an indication of something serious? I have had two concussions in the last year, both of which were dianosed as "mild".One in May. I get dizzy if i bend over too fast, reach down, and am developing pressure on my right eye. My hand-eye coordination never very good has gotten much worse. I will pick up an object and have it fall out of my hands.
Avatar m tn Did it bruise on the outside? How badly were you hurt - like a concussion?
Avatar n tn t be a problem with Prozac, but as CJ said, it can be stimulating to some people, so be careful, but it is true with the Ativan. And to have post concussion syndrome, you have to first have a concussion. Be careful out there!
Avatar f tn Immediately I had a headache, I saw halos around lights, and I felt like I was in a dream state. I went to a concussion specialist who performed an impact test on me and diagnosed me with a concussion. A couple weeks later I got cleared but soon after I started experiencing severe sensitivity to light and my vision seemed to worsen. I had been given glasses to use while driving for distance and now I have to wear them all the time or I can’t see.
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 f tn m still suffering from one going on 4 months now. 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 My teenager has been experiencing a heightened sense of smell for several months now. It is having a very negative effect on their quality of life as they can't eat many foods he used to, can't be in the same room as a smoker because the residual odor on their clothing, etc. They also suffers from post-concussive syndrome include severe sleep disruption, and this symptom seems to have started around the time of the concussion.
Avatar f tn A doctor generally looks for focal neurological or generalized neurological symptoms that would show there is a pressure on brain somewhere. In absence of these symptoms and based on the history a diagnosis of concussion is given. Suicidal thoughts can also be due to damage to the frontal lobe. This can also cause mood swings. Hence please get this assessed by a neurologist. A MRI of the brain should be done. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi last April my husband suffered a concussion while on his stag do. He was intoxicated when he suffered the concussion and was admitted to hospital. While at the hospital he was put on an IV and he did not know where he was. He thought he was in Spain despite being in Nottingham. The doctor wanted to keep him in overnight but the idiot best man did he best to get my husband released after a few hours.
Avatar f tn Bryan Danielson (ring name, Daniel Bryan) retired this week at a very young age due to concussion problems. He revealed on ESPN that the swelling on his brain has caused him to get seizures. I would love to have a big discussion about this.
Avatar f tn I am a concussion survivor. Could you get a concussion if your head stops suddenly from a fast movement? Yesterday I was in a hurry and running and pushed the door in front of me. It stopped abruptly which caused my body to stop too. Could this cause a concussion? I'm scared because I am recovering from a concussion already. Does it make me more prone to brain injury? Please, help me!
Avatar f tn A few hours ago, I tripped and fell on uneven concrete. My knees and hands hit the ground, and my head whipped forward and my chin hit the concrete pretty hard. My chin didn't get cut, but there is a bump on it now. I don't think I have any other symptoms, except I have a upset stomach (probably unrelated). Right away I got up and was a bit shaken up and embarrassed.
