Avatar f tn Has your doctor tested to see if a rise in blood pressure aggravates or causes the return of your concussion symptoms. Your recovery time generally depends upon this assessment. A recent study conducted by the University of Buffalo’s Concussion Management Clinic suggests that cardio vascular exercise performed on a equipment that does not involve a lot of impact or bouncing such as a stationary bike, elliptical or treadmill can speed the recovery process. One of the lead researchers Dr.
Avatar n tn My 12 old daughter suffered a concussion at school, which te school never reported and my daughter ad no memory of it was un-noticed for six months, now she can't remember anything not even basic math. She complaines of sever headaches that never go away. She was an A student and an artist among other things now she can barely understand what I say. She never laugh like she did, there are times when it seems like she as regressed, she may sound like she is about 4 years old.
Avatar m tn I sustained a minor concussion three weeks ago, and though my logical and linguistic faculties seemed to return to normal within a couple days, I have had persistent feelings of pressure and weakness in my head, though these have markedly diminished within the past week. At present, I have recovered enough that I am able to use the computer (with the monitor at low brightness) for simple tasks like reading and writing emails.

1602878 tn?1304336016 m not sure how much I can help you, but I was in a car accident in June 2011. It was after that accident that I was diagnosed with Chiari 1 and a syrinx. My doctor also said I had a concussion. The neurosurgeon who did my decompression and laminectomy in March just saw me in October. He said I'm doing well, but that I should still be limiting my activities and if anything worsens my symptoms to stop (um, sure...!).
Avatar m tn t if it was the adrenaline I felt the strongest headache could not concentrate I felt a little tingling feeling in my fingers at that point I could not even think and felt my eyes were very heavy went to the emergency room got a ct scan and a very heavy medicine that makes you dizzy as **** they told me I had a concussion maybe due to the accident . I still feel pain when I'm about to do something that requires me lift or gets my adrenaline going .
Avatar n tn I was just recently in a car accident. Someone ran a red light and t-boned my car, totaling it... I had a concussion/memory loss and head, back and neck pain. Everything is starting to feel better, but I also have a pain behind my eye that is persisting. A doctor told me that there is a nerve that was causing the pain. It's been three weeks and no change. I'm following up next week to find out next steps. Have you had any progress?
435918 tn?1204737341 I was involved in a car accident exactly 3 weeks ago. I was hit HARD from behind, then my car ran into the vehicle in front of me. I was diagnosed with cervical strain, but followed up with my primary MD because my head hurt so bad I could not hold it up. He ordered a CT of my head which came back normal, as well as giving me a prescription of Percocet.
Avatar f tn I fell off a horse of mine that also fell jumping and landed on my head (had a helmet on). I had a concussion for 2 days and do not remember the accident or couple of weeks that followed. My walking was with a walker as my balance was off. My right eye the opthamologist says had damaged 3rd optical nerve and also muscles, and they say 6 - 8 mo then we will see if they will heal or need surgery....
Avatar n tn I had a grade 2 concussion from a college soccer accident. it took me up to 6 months to "fully recover" (in the dr's eyes). Ever since the accident i have dealt with concentration problems, headaches, sleep apnea, memory problems. I am 24 yrs old and at the time of my accident 21. I hope you have better luck. i have recently been diagnosed w/ a pituitary tumor. i felt exactly how you did for such a long time.
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!
3161076 tn?1343698755 Does a head concussion cause a person to sleep a lot? I got into an accident and hit my head 2 months ago, last week i fell down the stairs and hit my head on the wall, now I'm sleeping a lot, what does that mean?
471949 tn?1236904026 I was in a car accident about a month ago and had a mild concussion along with injury to my C2-C5. I've had horrible headaches every since the accident. Just yesterday it was so bad that I actually blacked out (hit the floor). I'm dizzy quite often, have ringing in my ears also. I'm being treated by a chiropractor for my neck injury. Any thoughts?
Avatar m tn Yes, a TBI can cause loss of taste and smell. This can be a part of concussion. If this is so, there is a chance of recovery once the effects of concussion wear off, which may take a few years at times. Also the loss of smell could be due to injury to the nose causing a blockage inside the nose. Hence an ENT consultation is a must to rule this out. The other possibility is injury to nerves or the center in the brain. Generally the taste goes away because of loss of smell.
Avatar m tn I was in a bad car accident a month ago . I had a concussion and get dizzy and headache all night long exspecially when I turn side to side. because I can"t get comfortable because I hurt my right shoulder and broke my wrist too. looking for any suggestion . I'm still going to my neuro , ortho also my family doctor . this is very depressing .
Avatar f tn t masturbate, but I have had, sex during concussion recovery and my symptoms always increase afterward, even if the sex is not strenuous. It is the movement of the head that cause such, so due to my head injury history and experience, any movements that affect movement of the head can have a negative affect on concussion symptoms and recovery.
Avatar m tn My concussion occurred 37 days ago when I slipped and fell backwards hitting the back of my head on a turf surface. In terms of the concussion recovery, I've been working with a concussion therapist to employ the practices of slowly getting back into activities without provoking symptoms. Unfortunately, I haven't seen much progress and may even have my symptoms come on earlier. I believe that this is related to sleep and neck issues that began about 18-20 days into the recovery.
Avatar f tn My doctor doesn't seem to think my health is her problem so I'm going to turn to you guys & get your opinion. I was in a car accident where I hit someone head on (their fault, don't judge!) going about 30-40mph on June 1st. I didn't hit my head but somehow got a nasty concussion (my second one). Recovery was rough but I finally felt okay enough to work again (about 2 mos. later). Soon, my symptoms started to come back, one of which was even worse than before: my dizziness.
Avatar f tn How long is post concossive syndrome suppose to last, I was in an automobile accident 5 months ago and still suffering from this diagnosis according to my Neurologist. Is there anyone out there that has going thru this, I am read to be normal.
1033165 tn?1309435416 My daughter who was in a bad car accident back in April was seen by a Neurologist yesterday for severe daily headaches and dizziness. They mri and head ct showed an angioma. The Neuro dr said that is not what her problem is coming from it is from a severe concussion, and she is suffering from post concussion problems and could take 3- 6 mo easily to recover from.Why does this take so long to recover from? Why was this never picked up before from the er doctors.
