concussion
You need to go back to the Doctors. That does not sound right to me. You could have a brain bleed or severe bruising of the brain. Please don't mess with this. At our age we can't be too careful. Not that we are old or anything, just not 20.
I suffered a concussion in sept. 2012 maybe? Then again in April of 2013. Im still suffering from memory loss, focus and concentration issues, attention problems, and a constant headache. How long should or could this last?? If relevant, I'm 38.
I was wondering if there is another condition that had similar symptoms to post concussion syndrome. I have all of the most commonCommon coldsymptoms such as fatigue, nausea, migrains, mood swings, difficulty concentrating and remembering, but I also loss blocks of time, I pass out, and often experience some numbnessNumbness and tinglingon one side of my body. Could I have something other than Post Concussion Syndrome, and if so what?
About four nights ago whilewe were sound asleep my cat decided it would be thE perfect time to Ty for the first time to jump onto out headboard from the nightstand. Out headboard is about three and a half to four feet higher than our heads while we sleep. We have this rectangular block that has candles in it ( made of wood) on our headboard which she knocked off and it fell right on our heads. It weighs about 4 lbs.
Well, symptom wise it does sound like concussion. 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.
I have begged him to go back to a doctor to get his concussion checked out but he refuses. Does it sound like he needs to seek medical help for the concussion considering he never received any after-care and continued to drink on the concussion? Its been about 10 months since this happened so it is likely that he could still be suffering from the after affects of the concussion? Thank you for your time.
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!
It impacts the liver, kidneys, every body part .... and yes, the brain of course. Concussion is when some action causes the brain itself to move and impact the inside of the skull. It can be a passive injury that causes no more than a headache ... or it can be very much worse by affecting motor skills and pupil dialation, even speech patterns. Concussion may appear like intoxication but any good doctor would be able to know the difference by just doing a blood test!
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".
Your symptoms sound similar to me. Back in the 80's, I took a fall down a flight of stairs, I started head first and somehow ended up landing back wards, meaning I hit the back of my head, wow, it hurt and sure scared me. Well, for a couple of days, I was fine, then all of sudden one night as I was getting ready to sleep, I had a massive adrenalin rush and felt like I was dying. I jumped out of bed and sat in a chair in the living room, I was petrified and all alone.
Yes it does sound like a concussion. I would see your doctor right away or go to the ER to make sure there is no serious damage. They will probably do a CT scan or MRI.
But just from being old and hearing a lot of odd things, odd things happen, so even if the likelihood of you getting a concussion from what you did is virtually nil, if you really feel you did something that is causing lasting harm, again, it wouldn't hurt to see a physician, though what you're describing doesn't sound like a concussion. It would ease your worry.
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..
Light sensitivity, trouble focusing at near, difficulty concentrating, blurred vision are part of the post concussion syndrome. Not every person has every symptom and not every clears at the same rate. If you need glasses for distance generally you are myopic or nearsighted. That is not due to concussion. You should be seen by an Eye MD ophthalmologist for a medical eye exam.
Unresolved within a limited window, such swelling can lead to the death of brain cells and parts of the brain such as the pituitary and hypothalamus. The time to death of the cells is referred to as the warm ischemic time.
There is no evidence whatsoever that a concussion will make anyone smarter.
There may or may not be a degradtion in your cognition, memory and reasoning. The human brain is very resilient.
My problem is that i cannot remember if i did or not. However, my head has been hurting and its very intense especially with sound and light. My nose is also bruised and is numb. I cannot remember the accident that clearly. Is it possible that i may have a concussion?
About the best any of us can do is get a professional examination and diagnosis from a veterinarian. The symptoms sound like what can happen when a human has a concussion, memory loss, disorientation, maybe dizziness (not sure about the walking in circles ; ) ... I think a concussion is normally temporary but some are worse. I do recall reading/hearing about concern about multiple concussions in humans, especially children. Said another way, one usually isn't a big problem.
m wondering if my condition is reversable. If the atlas is what was knocked out of place during my concussion, is there a way to make it permanently stay in place? My meds cause me to be tired and distant from freinds and wondering if I'm going to be stuck with this the rest of my life is really starting to wear on me. If the atlas is not the soloution is there any way to reverse a concussion at all?
A distortion of smell acuity (dysosmia) is known to occur after head injuries(Sometimes much later). This is associated with Zinc deficiency.
Regards.
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!
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?
