Concussions are a type of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) caused by a blow to the head or sudden caring of the head and neck. They can have serious effects on the human brain.

During a Concussion, the brain is jolted inside the skull, which can cause the brain cells to stretch and tear. This can lead to a temporary disruption in the normal function of the brain, causing a variety of symptoms. If you suspect you had a Concussion, you should seek help immediately.

common symptoms and signs

What are the symptoms of Concussions?

Headaches

A common symptom of a concussion, headaches can range from mild to severe in intensity and may be accompanied by a feeling of pressure or tightness in the head.

Dizziness, balance or vertigo

Balance and coordination might be affected, making it difficult to walk or stand without feeling dizzy or lightheaded. Some people may also experience vertigo, which is a spinning sensation.

Nausea or vomiting

Nausea and vomiting can occur as a result of a concussion and are thought to be related to the brain’s ability to process and coordinate sensory information.

Disorientation
Confusion and disorientation can make it difficult for a person to think clearly or remember things. They may not be able to follow simple instructions or carry out familiar tasks.
Slurred speech
The ability to speak clearly and fluently, resulting in slurred speech or difficulty finding the right words.
Fatigue
Fatigue and drowsiness can make it difficult to stay awake or stay alert. People with a concussion may feel overly tired and want to sleep more than usual.
Memory loss
Memory loss may appear as an inability to remember events before or after the injury, as well as difficulty forming new memories.
Blurred vision or light sensitivity
Problems with vision, including blurriness and sensitivity to light may indicate a concussion. This can make it difficult to read, watch television, or be in brightly lit rooms.
Ringing in the ears

Ringing in the ears, also known as Tinnitus, can be a symptom of a concussion. This can be caused by damage to the ear or the auditory nerve.

Loss of consciousness

Although relatively rare, a concussion can cause a person to lose consciousness. If a person loses consciousness, it is considered a more severe head injury and emergency medical attention is required.
