Common Questions and Answers about Concussion and tingling

concussion

Avatar m tn 10 days ago I suffered a concussion due to a fall after fainting. We don't know how long I was unconscious (I was alone), but it was no more than 10-15 minutes. I was unable to remember anything regarding the actual injury (i.e. where I hit the back of my head) or my trip to the hospital and the ER until about an hour before I was discharged. I 'lost" about 3 hours in total.
Avatar f tn Hi, I had a concussion about 3 wks ago and after that I have had a tingling sensation in my feet. I want to know if this is expected and what can be done to resolve this. As a a positive side effect, I have also noticed that things seem to be moving in slow motion some times. In other words, I see things much quicker and my reflexes have improved. Is this normal ?
Avatar m tn , which you can find under the search feature here and I and others may be able to help and support you since I've also been in a similar situation - a concussion falls under this category. It takes time, and can be frustrating at times, and sometimes some symptoms (especially cognitive) go unrecognized. In the meantime, I hope you feel better and know that we are here to support you and educate you on how to cope with this.
Avatar f tn I have no concussion symptoms and no lump and I have been sneezing a few times, but lately the pain will not occur during the day, but sometimes start at night. I also have a tender scalp that is sensitive to touch or rub on it and the pain can sometimes travel throughout the back of my head. I have applied heat and taken aleve which seems to help it, but how long will it take for the tingling sensation to go away?
Avatar n tn I had an x-ray yesterday which showed no fracture, however I now feel worse than I did yesterday with disorientation (I try to walk in one direction and go in the other), dizzyness, fatigue, my limbs feel like led weights, my fingers are tingling. I have an increasingly worse headache and am feeling very nauseous.Things are starting to get very difficult to make sense of! And its becoming quite difficult to focus on things...everything has a blurry edge to it. My pupils are like pin pricks.
Avatar f tn 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 f tn I am a 59 year old woman. I have been experiencing intense tingling sensations throughout my body, heat intolerance, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and increased salivation. I had a fall in Jan. 2010 with a hairline fracture at C3 and concussion. I experienced a "thunderclap" headach in May 2010. I was sent to the ER. The MRI showed nothing. The LP showed only that I had a possible virus. I was also given ECG...and stress test. It is not cardiac.
Avatar m tn my pull up bar fell and hit wife in head right above hair line. She has a little nausea, shes sure she has a slight concussion. She has no memeory loss. She is saying that her face is numb she can feel when she touches her face but when she doesnt touch it she has a tingling sensation should we go to an ER? Would that cause nerve damage to her whole face?
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 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 Pressure headache worsened after activity and as days progressed. On and off nausea. On day 6 was sent to ER from work. concussion diagnosed and rest prescribed. Over next few days felt recurring waves of above symptoms, a change in my vision( felt that my left eye had moved , although it has not.. but vision in it has diminished) , waves of sounds in left ear and appeared to others to squint. Experience unsteadiness and a complete body tremor a couple of times when tired.
Avatar f tn I know the symptoms I have are a part of the concussion but they are bad (bec I already have the chiari symptoms) and it has been since Friday and I still feel HORRIBLE! I see a chiari specialist at the end of the month but in the mean time could this hitting my head on the wall possibly made things worse? (I did not have a ct for the concussion, the dr. just diagnosed me by my symptoms and what happened).
Avatar f tn I've experiencing extremely light tingling and pressure mainly in my legs and sometimes (rarely) in my hands or arms during the last four months. For the last years I've been experiencing high levels of stress/anxiety on a daily basis and I've been diagnosed with severe depression recently by my doctor. I've been prescribed with prozac and victan. Appart from this tingling I do NOT have any further symptoms.
Avatar m tn s been a year since his last concussion and he is making slow progress, but progress. Still has mood swings, ADD, and sleeplessness, but has made nice gains. He went on a flight to Scottland to visit a friend and seemed fine while in Scottland, but seemed to have regressed in symptoms when he returned home. Mood swings returned significantly and his choices and behaviors reflect significant impairment of executive function ability.
Avatar f tn At times a subdural hematoma develops slowly and may be missed on the first MRI. Also concussion can cause persisting headaches and should be allowed to slowly subside before active sports are considered. Injury to neck, to jaw bone, and even eyes should be considered. Get his eye sight also checked. May be the headaches are because he needs spectacles. -Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi! Alright, so I had no idea where to post this question so I guess I'll start here. First, for a bit of history about myself. I turned 17 years old a few months ago, and go to school at a community college 16 hours this semester while working a full time job with quite a bit of heavy lifting (I'm biologically a female, but have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, by the way). Back in December of 2014 I was hit by a truck while long boarding.
Avatar f tn The impact of the ball caused the concussion, and the shape of his pupil is now oval. I took him to a pediatric opthamologist who did a thorough exam. He said there is no lasting damage other than the shape of the pupil, but he needed glasses. When he "recovered" from the concussion three weeks later, he tried to go back to baseball but could no longer judge the speed and distance of the ball. He had to quit. He has been moody and pesting ever since the concussion.
Avatar m tn My question is, is there more than anecdotal evidence for a connection between an arachnoid cyst and the symptoms of fatigue, back and neck pain without a clear cause, muscle weakness, and numbness and tingling in the extremities? Does it matter which side of the brain the cyst is on? (I'm recalling strokes present symptoms in the opposite side of the body only, my symptoms are on the same side of the body). Thanks!
Avatar f tn Each brain injury is unique and try to get some one who can listen to you and may be a concussion specialist if you can. I am even considering Stem Cell Therapy for which I have to travel outside U.S.A. Keep me posted if you can.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I'm feeling pretty desperate and am hoping that I may find some answers here as all I get from neurology and family doctor are shoulder shrugs. About a month ago, I woke up one day with strange tingling in both my legs and weakness and numbness in my left leg. It didn't hurt so I just ignored it for about a week. I have an old and known back issue with 2 herniated discs so when the tingling started in my groin I got worried and went to ER.
Avatar f tn Probably you had a concussion and having Post Concussion effects. You can consult a Neuro-Otologist and Neurologist and see if you have any inner ear issues. Reason for dizziness can be very many. Get an MRI done to be safe.
Avatar f tn The C1 was fractured in three places and he had a severe concussion concussion. Since then he’s had excessive saliva resulting in excessive coughing. He’s coughing several times a minute. Is there any connection between brain trauma and excessive saliva?
Avatar n tn my sons hit heads on trampoline and now 1 has ringing in ears tingling in body short of breath what should i do
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 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!
