A family member suffered a smashed rib cage, bruising to the lungs and a head injury in a car accident.
He was in intensive care as he needed extra oxygen to the lungs. He was given an epidural feed to the spine and was given doses of morphine for the pain.
He was hallucinating, confused, forgetful and agitated.
Head scans revealed that there was a slight bleed to the front of the brain but it had stopped and there was only bruises and swelling left.

Like I said..
He is very sensitive to noise, and he was told to go to an ear,nose and throat doctor. They set up special sessions in a chair and in moving him in it, diagnosed the problem and worked to manipulate some little bones in the middle ear which helped quite a bit. He also carries nondrowsy Dramamine around in case he needs it. He also refers to it as a vagal nerve response.
2) I wonder if you have access to a practitioner of the Tibetan healing touch in your area.
My son was in an accident in June of 08 and had bleeding his his brain in several places. He was not expected to live and he stayed in a coma for 7 days. When he did come to he was doing the same thing your sister is doing. He was drawing his arms up and throwing his legs and arms around. If she is throwing her arms and legs then I believe that she is trying to come out of her coma. Our bodies seem to react to brain injury by causing comas. This may be its way of healing.
Is it possible that I may internally bleeding in my head. One of my relatives had an internally bleeding in her head not too long ago after she fell down , hence I am feeling scared. Almost 2 hours has passed since I fell down and still I donot feel any such discomfiture other than a blunt headache which lasts for 2/3 minutes. Should I be worried?
She just fell and hit her head on the driveway. She had stitches on the side of her head and had blood on her brain. The cat scan showed no sign of brain damage. She has been stabalized and has left ICU. While she was in ICU she recognized family members and spoke short sentences. Since leaving ICU she now does not speak and had a high fever which they say is contributed by a bladder infection. The doctor says her lack of speech and confusion is from the infection.
My 18 year old daughter hit her head twice in three weeks. She spent the past 3 nights in the hospital. They have no clue what the issue is. These are her symptons: headache that won't go away with perks, nausa, and she in numb on the left side of her body. They did a cat scan and they said it was normal. The first time she hit her head they did a mri and they said that was normal. We are at a lost and not sure what to do.
He cannot concentrate whatsoever, and when he saw a neurologist the neurologist asked him if he could remember some words and he could not a few minutes later. My husband already has a TBI from being in Iraq, and now this. What warning or emergency signs should I watch for. Is this all normal after a head injury? He was in bed for 5 days after the attack sleeping mostly.
Nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc are all signs of head injury. You need to get this investigated immediately. Please go to the ER and get a complete neurological examination along with MRI of head and neck region. Take care!

Last night around 11 pm, out of nowhere while relaxing, I began to feel warmth all over my body, starting in my head and began to sweat (even though it was cold) and felt as if I was going to faint. I also felt shaky. I dialed 9-11 in panic, an ambulance came but my mother wouldn't let me go. They looked in my eyes again, normal, and took my blood pressure and it was 138/78 and my pulse was 84. This was after taking two Beta Blocker pills.

My son was in a car accident back on August 5th. He was T-boned and hit his head on the seatbelt case. He had a bump and a cut. He had a headache for a few days afterwards. On August 25th he called me at work to tell me that his head was just pounding and he couldn't stand it. He has had headaches every morning since the accident but said that they normally go away. He went to the doctors today and they want him to have a MRI to make sure there is no swelling on the brain.
