WHAT IT IS A CONCUSSION?
Your brain is surrounded by spinal fluid that prevents it from banging into your skull. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury–a sudden, violent blow to the head that causes your brain to move back and forth within your skull, which can stretch and damage brains cells, causing chemical damage. Concussions are usually not life threatening, but should be handled with seriousness and care. When you have a concussion, your brain is more susceptible to further injury.
SYMPTOMS & DIAGNOSIS
Some people have obvious signs of a concussion – such as passing out and losing consciousness and forgetting what happened right before an injury. It can take hours, days or weeks to recover from a concussion. But it is possible to have a concussion without losing consciousness. Other symptoms, which may not always be immediately visible, may include not thinking clearly, nausea and vomiting, headache, blurred vision, balance problems, sensitivity to light or noise, easily angered or anxious, sad or emotional, as well as sleeping more than usual.
