concussion
About two months ago I suffered an injury to my left eye and the fore head area of my head. Two weeks later the ER Doctor told me I have post concussion syndrome, the CT scan was normal, however I still feel dizzy,lazy,depressed, my ears ring non stop and after I eat I feel like passing out. My primary care doctor said to give it about 90 days to a year. Can you tell me how much more should I wait before I see a neurologist.
Hey Everyone I'm 39 years old male and in good shape use to play sport before my accident ,about 2 years ago I had head injury ( concussion) I suffer from a few different thing because of that but one of my symptoms is a fast heart rate, My HR and BP was normal before the accident my BP still runs normal but not my heart rate, at rest its, sitting lying down it will usually drop to about 100, sometime time it goes a little lower 85 to 100 some it doesn't come down to 100 it stays 100-11
While I was doing that sport I got really bad sharps pains in the back right side of my head. It hurt so bad I had to stop and just stand there. And since my concussion my right leg has been jerking once a lot a day. I have also had a lot of memory problems since my concussion. I used to have really good memory, but now I will forget something someone just told me. I wasn't sure if someone knew why this all is happening.
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.
As you know, a "Grade 1" concussion is the mildest category. That being said,m there is no such thing as a "harmless concussion", and in the final analysis Lacross is a meaningless activity. Missing a season is not worth a lifetime of problems. I am somewhat concerned he did not have an MRI, and insofar as school authorities are mandated to pick-up-the-bill, this non-invasive test should have been provided.
Concussions can really mess people up. I know someone who had to leave her job because of a bad concussion in a car accident. It's taken her a year to get back into the workforce.
You will go crazy if you don't get any sleep! You need to see a doctor as soon as you can because concussions can be serious. Ask the doctor for some sleeping pills as well. It might also help to take an anti-inflammatory painkiller like ibuprofen.
Here's another assertion, from the Los Angeles County Public Health web page: "Oral sex carries a low risk of HIV infection. However, other STDs are easily transmitted by oral sex, especially gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes." I interpret this statement as a claim that unprotected oral sex carries a high STD transmission risk, i.e. "easily transmitted.
Swiss HIV experts have produced the first-ever consensus statement to say that HIV-positive individuals on effective antiretroviral therapy and without sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are sexually non-infectious. The statement is published in this week’s Bulletin of Swiss Medicine (Bulletin des médecins suisses). The statement also discusses the implications for doctors; for HIV-positive people; for HIV prevention; and the legal system.
s a great deal of consensus on this. Condoms work. They are effective protection against hiv when used consistently and correctly. I get it.
My question (it is coming!!!) is about the experts here like Teak. You guys provide pretty emphatic replies in these cases. The doctors do too but are more elaborate (for want of a better term). What's the basis for your advice? Is this from personal experience?
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".
The statement is based on thousands of observations. On a theoretical basis, the virus is likely to adher to clothing fibers rather than move through the liquid. It would then contact intact genital skin, not a mucosal surface. Intact epithelium is highly resistant to HIV- this is the reason that masturbation is safe sex; no one has ever gotten HIV through masturbation either.
Unfortunately, he probably has to stop running. That is a great sport but hard on the body and my suggestion is for him to find an alternative exercise until this completely resolves. good luck to your friend. (Shoes do not solve problems even if they make it more comfortable. Rest and proper care of the condition cure it.
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..
0 and you have these symptoms, you can be treated. According, again, to the same statement, there is no harm in treated someone with subclinical hypothyroidism unless they are given a dose so high that it creates hyperthyroidism.
However, a consensus conference in 2002 between the ATA, AACE, and other thyroid organizations highlighted the need for more research into subclinical hypothyroidism.
Not to alarm you, but search for the word Infergen on this board and find my near death experience on this drug. In my case, because I had failed three prior treatments, the doctor was determined to once and for all get rid of this virus. He recommended overdosing. Instead of the typical 15mcg daily, I was injecting 24mcg daily. It nearly killed me. My bilirubin reading was through the roof and I became jaundiced. DO NOT let your doctor overdose you on this powerful drug.
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.
