Common Questions and Answers about How long does a concussion headache last
concussion
I suffered a concussion on Jan. 3rd and had just a bad headache,a little dizziness and a lump on the back of my head. Then a few days to a week the dizziness got alot worse, i became unsteady on my feet, developed ringing in my ears, nausea and the headache got worse.
I've had an MRI and CT Scan and both were fine. Now I'm having a little problem with remembering names and other little things, plus I've noticed that loud noises and bright lights seem to bother me too.
I suffered a concussion 4 months ago when I fell during a parade with my high school band. My mom took me to the ER and I was diagnosed with a concussion. I had a CT scan and nothing was out of the ordinary, and it seemed to just be a mild concussion.
4 months later, I'm still having issues. I'm a junior in high school and concentration and memory issues made me switch out of all of my honors classes into regular ones and drop both math and science completely.
My older son (now 14) has had 3 concussions, all mild (even though twice he was knocked unconscious, two came from hockey and one came from a fall at the playground.) My younger son (now 10) had what they thought was a mild concussion after a fall from a fence. Initially they said no sports for 3 days but a week later he would come home from baseball crying about a headache and vomiting.
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 fell and hit my left shoulder and back on a stair railing last week. It irritated nerves on my left and right sides. I don't remember hitting my head, but I've had a headache pretty much constantly since. Headache is mostly right side on front of head. I've also been feeling spacy, dizzy, and nauseous since.
I don't have any bruise like pain at the back of my head. It might be a sinus infection, but it all started the day after I hit my shoulder, so I'm not sure?
when some one suffers from concussion at what stage shold they be taken by ambulance to hospital. Does that happen if the person has a long period of unconsciousness or just with any unconscoussness? if when they wake up they have a dazed and confused look on their face and then when they try to stand up they loos there balance should they be called and ambulance and be taken to hospital. At what point should a ct scan be done?
Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.
Usually, such headaches, confusion and dizziness symptoms may result due to post-concussion syndrome and may last for weeks or months after the injury that caused from the injury of a fall, vehicle accident, or sports injury.
Last winter I got a concussion. I called healthlink (in Canada it's a number you can call and talk to a doctor about health concerns) they told me to go in immediately if I felt sleepy, or I noticed bloodshot eyes or blood in my ears. If it's just the headache and you're pretty sure it's a concussion, I was told to go get it looked at within 5 hours of the injury because you could have bleeding.
Was intoxicated. Had a huge lump. Went to Urgent Care 3 days later, no need for a CT scan just a mild concussion. Did not have any symptoms beside bruised head. Next day, I was very, very dazed. Felt like I was in a dream Day after that had some mild headaches. Went to my regular GP 3 days later. Again, no need for CT scan just had a mild concussion. I have severe anxiety.
So how long does a stomach flu/virus usually last? because I've been feeling sick since Friday and it is now Tuesday. I threw up for about 2 days and had diarrhea which just stopped today. I feel incredible weak and hungry but i dont know what to eat. I havent thrown up since sunday morning (at 4am.. not fun) thankfully. But I still feel sick anddizzy and lightheaded and weak. My stomach/sides are sore. I've had a headache for weeks.
I got a concussion about 3 months ago at a cheer competition when a girl fell and elbowed me in the face. I didn’t get knocked unconscious but I blacked out for 3 or 4 seconds. Immediately after my performance I went to the athletic trainer who performed an assessment and asked what my symptoms were. Immediately I had a headache, I saw halos around lights, and I felt like I was in a dream state.
It sounds like it could be a concussion - he will slowly heal if he does not see a doctor. I got hit in the head with a softball a few years ago and was very dizzy, nauseous, and had a headache. I did not go to the doctor.... found out 2 months later (after the feeling was starting to come back and I got black eyes) that I did indeed have a mild concussion and had to go for a CT Scan for possible nerve damage. I still do not have a lot of feeling in the spot that I got hit.
You should get it checked out since you are on a blood thinner. If you have a mild headache, then try to get into your GP today. If it is a really bad headache, then I would just go straight to the ER. Better to err on the side of caution.
My daughter has hit her eye and we are worried about a concussion.

Hello, just looking for some advice.
4 weeks ago I was playing football (soccer), and was heading a ball when I received a blow to the head - on my right temple. I had to come off. I was experiencing dizziness, headache, bad vision - so I was taken to A&E...diagnosed with concussion and sent home.
