Avatar m tn I do not know how long ago that was but if you looked up what the doctor was talking about like I do when my kids health is involved. You might of seen that the syndrome can sometimes last over a year in some cases. As for epilepsy, I have it. For me the cause was due to a brain tumor that killed part of my right temporal lobe and also effected my short term memory which drives my wife nuts.
Avatar f tn Anyone please!!

The symptoms can also be due to trigeminal nerve injury or trigeminal neuralgia. It can also be a pressure on the upper cervical spinal nerve. Please do not drive and move out of the house alone. Also, it is advisable not to live alone until you get this investigated completely. Take care!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I diagnosed concussion because I had pretty much all the symptoms of one. And I didn't go to the hospital for two reasons 1) I didn't feel like trusting my driving skills after that 2) I did a typical test for "serious" head trama (watching what your eyes do, how long you can focus on things ext) so I knew it wasn't "serious" so I didn't think to go. I know thats bad but what can I say.
Avatar m tn Obviously as you mentioned there are other factors such as anxiety, depression, lack of deep sleep, not eating enough which can amplify the physical symptoms. Also the fact that I already had post concussion symptoms regardless. Dont think I had a goose egg just some slight bruising and I felt like a bit of pain or a sore spot in the area I was hit for a few days.
Avatar n tn Yes it would depend on if he was diagnosed with bpd before the concussion or if the symptoms started afterwards. He needs to see a neurologist to rule out the potential of a traumatic brain injury because if that is diagnosed the mental changes resulting from a t b i are treated differently than from a psychiatric disability. Generally changes of this nature are permanent but sometimes a person can gradually regain functioning over time as happens with a mild stroke.
Avatar f tn I am not very happy with what I feel was a less than thorough exam, and I am trying to get a referral to Neurology from our health insurance company. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the cause may be, or what type of tests the doctor can perform to look into this further?
7664355 tn?1393289137 ve had a very long day as my 15 year old daughter had some 11 kids trying to jump her and they all decided to come to our house and outta nowhere on my property I was jumped.. I've got a broken rip,staples in my head as I was hit with a brick several times. And stitches in my forhead. So although my w/d are pretty much gone, I'm now in some serious pain,just defending my daughter..I'm so happy I've made it through this. All you are amazing!
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 f tn re supposed to take it easy after a concussion and orgasm raises your BP and all. Most of my symptoms of the concussion have gone away, aside from double vision. Thoughts?
Avatar m tn A concussion can last for weeks after the head injury. The symptoms too vary from person to person. Headache, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, nausea vomiting, slurred speech and fatigue are common. Delayed symptoms include depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, seizures, loss of smell etc. A doctor generally looks for focal neurological or generalized neurological symptoms that would show there is a pressure on brain somewhere.
Avatar f tn I`ve suffered from three concussion over the spand of a few months. The first two within week of each other and 2 months after a third. The last one was in August. Since then I have been very cautious to not hit my head but lets face it it`s nearly impossible. Kids will soft balls around and balls outside. They will flail their arms and hit your head or just nick you. Someone will bump into you and make you fall back. YOu will pull on something and it will make you jolt.
Avatar f tn Hannah is an extremely bright, creative, athletic and sweet young lady, who did not have any of these symptoms prior to her April 2011 concussion. We live in Ohio and are trying to find the best Chiari expert in our area. We will travel if necessary. Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely.
Avatar m tn t remember the medical term for it) were athletes who took many shots to the head over many years and played while they had the concussion/still had concussion symptoms. AND before we knew about the seriousness of injuries to the brain. There is a reason why in sports today that people need to pass concussion protocol tests before they are allowed to return to activity. I suppose I'm trying to relate this to sports as you talked about boxing.
Avatar n tn Nausea is one of the common symptoms of Post Concussion Syndrome. I hit my head and had mild traumatic brain injury and then followed PCS. I have several other symptoms too (vertigo, fatigue, head pressure etc.,) and all related to the concussion. I too force myself to eat when I hit with nausea and it happens very often. I am surprised your Neurologist didn't suggest any drugs which in a way is good. Elavil (low dosage - 10 mg/day) helped some people with Nausea, sleep etc.
Avatar f tn Guess what guys.! I got a concussion. ): Done with football for the season and sports for the whole YEAR!!! Hopefully we can let me do discus at the end of the year...NOT A CONTACT SPORT....They are talking about taking me out of football for good. Which I understand...but I got the concussion off of punting which I NEVER do except for tht one time.
Avatar m tn I think having migraines every day since your injury back in FEBRUARY and also the sleepy aspect of your symptoms, these both suggest you had a mild concussion, which can cause a number of brain injuries problematic enough that you really do need a scan done of your head.
Avatar m tn If so she might have received a concussion. Also can you find a good health psychologist/counselor who would be able to understand the impact the injury has had? Has anyone tested her thyroid and blood sugar?
Avatar m tn Week ago i had fell on ice, causin a concussion neck and back injury,,I now have congestion in my ears with fluid along with other bad symptoms, is all this normal , espcailly the fluid in ears buildup, headache vison ringin in ears,, thank u
Avatar n tn There is no scientific data proving Chiari can or can't be caused by head trauma. Most dr's will tell you it's congenital. A concussion could worsen your symptoms - although I'm not sure if it could worsen the herniation size.. But that can happen anytime. It could be coincidental that all this is happening following a concussion. Your best bet is to see a Chiari specialist. I've seen- well read- alot of people suffer from "migraines" and then BAM!
Avatar n tn You have classic symptoms of Post Concussion Syndrome. There are many things you can do to relieve the symptoms and is a trial and error effort. Headache medicines, therapies, addressing neck injuries, vision issues, ear issues etc., Find a right doctor who knows about Post Concussion Syndrome and unfortunately there are not that many. Some don't even have a clue about it so be careful when you go to some one and dont get disappointed. I have been suffering for 2.
Avatar n tn If he has just done this then I would tell you take him to the ER to make sure he is okay .as he is having some symptoms of possible concussion do not delay ...good luck let us know how he is doing .
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.
