I was walking my dog, I felt dizzy and got confused on the path, my dog took control and walked me the rest of the way home. Thankfully he was in tune with me and sensed my state. And so clever to know the way 🏡 home.
Do you have a concussion prior to walking your dog? Normal, and you all often felt dizzy with no with no cause? I hope you're OK, how did this episode turn out?
@@ManifestandchillSo did I ! It was so crazy scary 😢 I cried, and then drove myself to the ER, they had a CT scan done on me, but nothing shows up ever never never, and I don’t know what to think if I should be frustrated or glad. But my concussion was very bad very painful and I felt like a part of my head sunken in and a lot of bumps started to form around that it was so scary. I am still in pain.
@@sid98geek yes, things improve with steady state cardio. But it must be done below the threshold of symptoms. Check out the Buffalo concussion treadmill test, by Dr John Leddy. It’s critical to perform exercise daily for things to improve.
For those currently watching w a concussion: MCT oil, omega 3 supplements, & 2000-3000 mg of vitamin c help a ton! Also make sure to eat legumes, salmon, pumpkin seeds, nuts, & drink ur protein shakes!! Ik it can b Hard to keep an appetite but w protein shakes u get all the protein & nutrients u need. So make sure to actually eat well balanced meals but if u r too nauseas or full to eat, have a protein shake
Treatment for concussion - good food, meditation, message, excersise, limited tv. Concussion should be good in two weeks, for some people it takes time because they get stressed and have negative thought that can also aggravate the pain. Stay relaxed and everything is gonna good.
@cute dog really?? Broda I’m gonna pray for you, InshAllah everything is gonna be good. I know times are hard, but concussion aren’t that bad that you get cancer. I’m gonna pray for you, you are gonna be good in 3 weeks time.
@cute dog just go and exercise for a bit bro. Get out of the comfort zone, depression is not healing the injury. Brain is the most powerfull, it can anything to your body. Trust me start doing meditation, exercise and pray. INSHALLAH are gonna be good in a month time. Nutrition is also important, take protein alot, take fish oil, eat salmon, eggs, fruits, massage to your head with olive oil. Trust me you are gonna be good.
This is my 4th concussion. My concussion and migraine doctor said exactly all of this. The vitamins and and diet work amazingly. I've had chronic migraines since I was a kid due to concussions and the brain fog went away, I wasn't as forgetful, I had a better understanding of what was going on around me. It really did wonders
@@emmajohnston-ward4209 how many times did you puke up I suffered with a concussion it’s been 4 weeks now I have changed my diet clean eating and I take black seed capsules.
There’s a middle ground between resting in a dark room for a month and going on walks and runs the first week of having a brain injury. It’s important to refrain from exercise that jar the brain such as aerobics, jogging etc- going for a easy walk, some stretching or gentle yoga is good. But definitely no rush or reason to engage in any exercise except gentle fluid movements such as light walking, stretching and limit screen time and reading ( not avoid altogether but limited)
Thank you, for this no nonsense, enabling presentation. Been resting for first day after blow to the head and going to take a walk soon, upon your recommendation. Green tea helps with dizziness, and taking vitamin c and magnesium. Also, taking your advice and trying to eat clean and cut out the crap! Thanks, again, and hope everyone gets better, sooner 🙏🏽
As an animation student the whole screen nausea thing is frightening. I may have to drop out if my symptoms don't improve this week but I think this advice is good. I need to reintroduce things gradually. I might watch some tv tonight and start drawing on paper but not animating just yet. Its so scary to go from one of the most active periods of my career to just like couching but its what the doctor ordered. Thanks for giving me permission to get out the dark room it helped.
My symptoms still come and go but I feel this videos advice helped tremendously. A month on from my concussion im doing better. I got blue light filter glasses and returned to work four hours a day during week 2. Then worked 6 hours the week after. Whenever i try overworking my migraine returns that night. I take this as a sign to take it easy the day after. This normally means im animating 2 outa 3 days but i feel like this will get better with time and i can rest properly during the semester break. I am getting thru my assignments slowly. If anything this has forced me to take my work life balance more seriously. I now stop working at 5 regardless of anything that's happening.
@@gcoolsnow7591 take the time to recover every day spent recovering early will save you several days of symptoms later. I spent an entire week without a clear diagnosis and my recovery took longer as a result thankfully feeling better now.
It's a nightmare for musicians too. Sound induced concussions burn so bad, didn't want to get out of bed, cognitive problems. Thanks for the video! It was very scary!
@@mutantmechahow are you now? I’m also an student and sometimes I experience brain fog or lack of focus when studying so I really want to recover fully. Got hit on the head around 6 months ago.
@@shiiraga1111i started wearing blue light filtering glasses everywhere and i found that helped allot with light sensitivity. When recovering I whould push myself a lil past the point of comfort but still scaled things back allot. I'm starting to realise i was very fortunate to recover the way i did but it was still incredibly difficult. I dont know how practical this is but i also take ritilin for adhd and have discovered it's actually prescribed for concussions i think its what saved me from the brain fog. Its worth looking into. I didn't realise but my brain fog got worse after the concussion because my ritilin masked it so well. I think it's important to realise your new limits but work towards moving past them when you can i know thats hard to hear but it really helps this video was a godsend for giving me permission to do that. But please be kind to yourself i hope you do well and complete your studies.
Thanks for the great video! I fell today on ice and don't remember falling. I remember getting up and there was blood everywhere. I bashed my head and went to the ER. 10 staples to close the gash. Got a concussion. Not sure how long I was out for on the ground outside. So this is why I'm here. No symptoms except pain from the fall on my head. Hoping that's all I get.
Great tips thank you. Im getting more proactive with my own recovery and getting out there every day, baby steps. Rest, get better, think you are recovered, try to return to normal life, turn into a pumpkin within an hour, rest, recover, do it all over again. Vicious circle. Clean home cooked whole foods, supplementation, light exercise, sauna, i wanna get a ball to “juggle” or throw in a circle, work on hand eye coordination, i wanna get small hurdles, work on stepping over them, throw a basketball, stuff like that
Reading comments and watching this after a concussion. My main symptom today is a headache that extends to behind my ear. The comments have given me hope of recovery. ❤
Thank you so much for this help. While I appreciate my Hospital help...I was only told everything verbally and so of course retained NOTHING to memory. Thank you for sharing this. -Canadian/Ontario
Great video! It's always amazing to me how gradual controlled exercise is the best cure for practically any physical situation. I'm thrilled to test those out and see myself getting better!
Thank you sir, my mom got a concussion due to a high fever causing her to loose consciousness, it was very scary because she was so irritable and I was scared I wasn’t doing stuff right, God bless your soul sir
THANK YOU!!! You gave me better advice than my own doctor. Who just waved my concussion away as if it was nothing with don't think too much and just rest, and I just left like ehm ok??, feeling extra lost. I am really grateful for your video and that I came across your advice. This makes so much sense for what I am experiencing and I finally know what I actually can do for full recovery. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
hit my head on the table while trying to lay down 3 days ago. it hurt. i felt a little nauseated and a light headache and fuzziness but other than that, not much else. i don't have much trouble going to sleep. i still have light headaches in certain places on my head, but i still function well. i can't get to the doctors bc of covid and also i dont wanna pay a lot for this concussion. I tend to worry a lot and i pray this doesn't cause long-term injuries or bleeding. Online classes will start soon and i hope my symptoms don't get worse. Thank you for this.
So helpful, thank you! A week after my concussion I went to the gym with a headache and did the stationary bike for 40 minutes, my symptoms started to improve after that; I think the blood flow really did help and endorphins are a natural pain killer! I've been doing stationary bike all week and maybe in a few days, exactly two weeks after my concussion, I can try light jogging.
Thank you for making this video. It gave me the confidence to get on with my life even though I still have mild symptoms after 2 months (headaches, fatigue).
I went to the ER and I just got a note for work only giving me weight restrictions and not being able to bend or kneel. Work didn’t agree with it and sent me home to rest. I took a nap and have been in bed and I feel worse! I think there is truth in it based off of my personal experience. I’m clumsy and had a lot of them over the years and never did the whole resting in bed until I felt better. This may not be the case entirely with severe ones, but I’ve only experienced mild ones.
I find this interesting. I just came home from hospital with concussion and they told me to lay low for while but when I do, I feel worse. I like this idea much better, I don't wanna risk staying in bed too long😝😝😝
@@blackentrepreneur244 seems like it took me little while but I feel pretty much back to normal now. I do have little more depression but I found if I take a good amount of Mucuna it seems to help. Hope you start feeling better.
Did you hit the front area or back area of your head? I got a concussion but never blacked out only mild headaches and slight dizzyness and fuzzy feeling in my head. What helped alliviate some of the pain? They said i should be fine when i went to the doctor since my symptoms are not terrible. Also glad to hear your doing better!
@@lilbank2521 I actually don't know what part of my head I hit 🤔. I passed out while getting dressed and was near the shower when I woke up on the floor and unable to move. Once I was able to move, had my son drive me to hospital where they said I had concussion. I'm guessing when I went down I hit my head on the shower but my whole head hurt so I don't know what part was hit. I do feel I made a full recovery, thank you for your kind words👍😊👍😊👍😊. I didn't stay in bed too long since everything I read said not to. I'm guessing that really helped since I got over it within few days. Hope you have the same experience and make full recovery quickly 😊👌. Good luck you you 🌟🙏🌟🙏
What if my headache hasnt subside I have fibromyalgia and got hit in the head 9 days ago and the pressure hasnt stopped. I went to the ER and no fracture just excruciating head pressure.
I've just recovered from my concussion yesterday. I got my concussion after arguing with my mom and i went outside and punch my head. After 4 hours i woke up and i have a severe pain in my head i was nauseous i vomited many times. Just be positive always and rest is important stay hydrated exercise if you feel your symptoms just rest do some inhale exhale stay away from depressing stuff watch something that can make you positive it can make you feel better. Talk with your friends and family they can help you get rid of your concussion. And don't forget to Pray ❤
What is "I went outside and punch my head"? If you punched your own head, maybe next time you should pray you dont punch yourself in the head again. Then you wont have a concussion to pray away. Just a thought.😉
Some of my own tips based on my own experience: -Avoid bright lights flashing lights and electric lights, this includes screens. -Avoid spicy foods. -Lay in the forest to reduce symptoms for a hours. -Avlid loud noises. -Avoid greasy or fatty foods. -Avoid sugary food and drink. -Eat a balanced diet. -Avoid uncooked foods. -If your phone has an Iris scanner disable it in settings>biometrics.
I'm not meaning to be disrespectful but the headache that I had was exasterbated the light and electronics. When I cut that out it healed. I agree diet matters
It is best to listen to your body. I went to work after only one day off because I was dismissed at a walk-in, it only made things worse. I eventually listened to my body and took my sick days until I could see my family doctor a week later. She gave the old-school advice of sitting in a dark room, which I did for a couple days. I find the screen still bothers me even with my glasses with blue light blocking. I limit my screen time and rest if overexerted. I do gentle yoga, meditation, clean eating, and supplements. I will add walking, it has just been so cold! It will be 2 weeks in a couple days but when I see my doctor then I will ask for treatment recovery besides rest. I don't want these symptoms long-term!
Would you please add links to the current studies about concussion management that you refer to. I work with people with acquired brain injury and want to stay up to date with current concussion management approaches.
Hi, i have been suffering from what I believe is concussion for 1.5 years. I was reluctant to accept concussion as multiple MRIs came back clear. I also have a vestibular condition (90% paresis in right ear) all this arose following a very impactful bike ride down a mountain, which resembled a 15 minute bike ride down a flight of stairs!! Quick question, does hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with concussion?
Unfortunately MRI doesn't show concussion - so will always be clear. Hyperbaric - So far, the bulk of the evidence says that it is NOT effective for concussion recovery (although it is heavily marketed for this purpose). There are some poor quality trials that people point to as evidence of effectiveness, however all of the good quality trials show that it is no better than placebo.
I suffered a concussion 2 years ago, still healing, and although my doctor has restricted me I had to continue with my life, the best I could, because I have children and my husband works full time. And I've tried all the natural things people are listing for 2 years and we eat very healthy always. I can say personally none of these things have helped or made any difference with how I feel/my symptoms but lead to me severely injuring myself a year later due to dizziness from my concussion. I was walking downstairs and had a severe dizzy spell and fell from the top, 20 steps. From a person that has to live their daily life with a concussion I can say do not put yourself out there too soon, DO NOT push yourself to get back to whatever your normal routine was, DO rest, DO take it extremely easy until you are healed, DO focus on things that bring about peace and helps keep you motivated during this really hard time. I did not fully follow my neurologist and neuro-psychologist instructions at first and once I did start following his instructions and restrictions I started to feel better, still have a ways to go but listening to my doctor made the biggest difference compared to myself back into my pre-concussion routine.
Right there with you; try Neuro feedback, vision therapy, hyperbaric oxygen helped me.. still getting back to it but my pain levels are way more manageable
5 weeks ago I got my first concussion. I was unconscious for almost 5 minutes. There’s no way I could have returned to work in the first few days or few weeks post concussion . I was a wreck. Anxiety was sky high. Severe dizziness. Pounding headaches. Numbness in my face and feet. I’m still getting dizziness and headaches though not as often but I experience “brain fog” and dizziness. This has definitely been a long recovery and I hope these symptoms go away soon (I eat well and stay hydrated).
Sorry to hear about your injury. Check out the Concussion Fix program to help you with the recovery of these symptoms! concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/
I hit my head about 1 month ago and i still have light headaches that started minutes after the injury, its not a bad headache just slight and it never goes away. It is maybe slightly worse over time and was significantly worse after the first week
@@sid98geek 100% better like new now it probably wasnt until 3-4 months that i felt totally better, but it also didnt begin to improve until about 2 months in for (about 2 months) it really didnt improve whatsoever and then all of a sudden one day i began feeling differently. To be honest i feel like it may have been somewhat stress related not that hitting my head didnt cause it. It did., but a lot of things happend right around then (my concussion, broken up relationship, repeatedly getting the flu) I was under a lot of stress and eventually it just kind of resolved itself. Time, patience and collecting myself healed it. I suppose im lucky some never pull out of it and maybe i am kidding myself and i probably sustained some long term damage but its not something ive noticed or thought about in quite a while
I have laid my squishy left part of the head on a hard metal table for a minute, and it got sore for a day so far. Big mistake. But my symptoms doesn't seem strong. Either way, I got some recovery to do. I guess it is safe for me to still work which is part of physical activity. Thanks for the tips. I feel less scared. Heck, I have been on a diet either way.
Thank you for this video I have been overthinking because I got hit again where I had gotten my 1st concussion only 3 months ago. My job is very stressful I work with children with autism and I'm ready to get out. I pray God gets me out soon.🙏🏽
SUMMARY 1. Max 2 days off work. 2. Time off shouldn't be inactive. Time off should be moderate rest. Screens, walking, emails etc. should NOT be avoided wholesale. 3. Those who take more than 1-2 days off, worsen symptoms and recovery. Rationale: concussions reduce blood flow, and inactivity exacerbates low blood flow. 4. Avoid activities with high probability of subsequent concussions: e.g. wrestling 5. Avoid that which significantly increase symptoms e.g. activities that increase intensity of pain from 4 to 6. 6. Use activities that either: don't increase concussion symptoms at all, or only minorly 7. Eat clean, cut pro inflammatories: e.g. processed meats, sugars, gluten, dairy. Pro inflammatory foods can impact the brain.
how do i fix this i was playing rugby and in my pre season match i got concussed and then toke 6 mouths of rugby amd then came back this really weird i got concussed again but this time it was on the same player same field same play witch was come off the back of the srum anyway after 2 years of not playing i came back this year and i am still getting saw head after saw head how do i fix this
Please see this comment, I was skating and got a pretty bad concussion yesterday and i work construction what are your thoughts on going back to work after 3 to 4 days?
You can check this out if you're interested (it's more for people with long-term symptoms, but there's a ton of useful info for any concussion patient) - concussiondoc.io/courses/the-concussion-fix/
I had to take a covid test to prove a negative result. The clinic wouldn't see me since I was nauseous, had headaches and was vomitting. Told me I had covid and not a concussion. Bad time to be sick.
Day six of a concussion. My hearing is still messed up. When I speak, it sounds like I’m in a tunnel/under water; when I listen to other people talk it’s really difficult to make out what they are saying. I can hear cars and birds like normal.
Have you been to a doctor? I had those symptoms and was told it was important to get a CT scan to rule out nasties. My scan was clear. I ended up having to do vestibular rehab to deal with balance issues which progressed over time. Good luck
@@jessbooth5495 I did go to a doctor at the week two mark. I couldnt get an appointment with my family doctor, but I ended up speaking to one at a drop in clinic. Needless to say he wasnt the most intelligent doctor. He did a once over and confirmed that I had a concussion. He didnt suggest a CT scan or anything. My hearing and everything is back to normal thankfully. The soccer ball to my head clearly shook things up but I feel like I've made a full recovery. I hope you're having a good recovery on your end! Its not fun dealing with hearing issues.
@SpringCat HV! I'm so sorry to hear that. Getting punched in the head is awful! It is scary isnt it? It feels so discouraging when you start to lose hope. Be patient with your body as it heals. Were you able to get a doctors visit?
Have you covered the topic of numbness? I get numbness in my toes and legs - just tiny tiny tingling in small areas - when I for example exercise. Havent seen this covered anywhere so would love for a video
@@luckylunaloops I actually went to a doctor who specializes in concussions and figured out the issue. I have tight muscles in my hips, so after doing hip stretches the numbness has disappeared. And thats why the numbness was "random" places. Same with my fingers, i had tight muscles above my chest. So happpy i figured it out!!
I’m only fifteen skateboarding was going so fast and my broad stopped and I flew and smashed the left side of my head and my vision was blurry for 10 mins it has been a day but the back left side of my head is soo big and it’s annoying to raise my eyebrows I through up one time but I don’t feel like eating or drinking anything and I don’t know what to do I fell like playing video games with my friends but I don’t really know if that’s bad and it’s really hot outside to walk and I wanna go to the er to make sure my head is ok cause it’s huge and I jus don’t want my parents to spend to much money for that so I’m stuck with hardly any options I hope u guys have some recommendations
Is there any point in resting for 1-2 days if you had delayed symptoms? I’m 4 days from my concussion and symptoms didn’t become obvious until yesterday.
I hit my head a couple months ago but I'm still very very dizzy swollen brain fog , neck pain blurry in one eye the side of the head i hit can i still do these or ??? Do i need to go to the dr
That usually means they are correct....there is ZERO concussion training in medical schools. There is also zero evidence to suggest that screens are harmful. These are "wives tales" that for some reason continue to get propagated
Yes - I would recommend that you look into the Concussion Fix program (google it and read some reviews!). We are running a Black Friday sale where you can register for only $1: concussiondoc.io/offer/join-concussion-fix-now/?coupon=socialcdoc
I hit my head about two months ago and symptoms just began about a week ago 😕 I’ve been experiencing migraines, mood swings and irregular body temperature
My headache is persistently painful so much so that I need to take anti inflamatories and painkillers yet i cannot spend time bending over to do a task as this increases my pain. I was diagnosed with a small hematoma and whiplash but honestly i think I should've had a CT scan.
That's because the UK is quite far behind with respect to concussion treatment. If you have a CompleteConcussions.com clinic near you I would suggest you go there. If not, check out the concussion fix program (in the description above). Those are your best bets for insuring a quick recovery!
Did anyone’s doc suggest a MRI? I already took ct and X-ray and came out normal. I don’t want more radiation. I tripped and body fell to concrete ground.
Its been two weeks since I initially hit my head and was told it is a concussion earlier this week. Still have headaches everyday slight dizziness and occasional nausea. Ive been told no TV, no reading, and no bright lights. Basically do nothing that stimulates the brain. IM BORED!
You have been given incorrect and dated advice...check out concussiondoc.io . Two weeks means it's time to start fixing the issue...otherwise you'll still be here in 2 years
I kept throwing up and getting lost in my own home. I was always calling for my mom to help me get out of the bathroom. I would say mom I need help and she would say we’re are you and I would be in my bedroom and I would be in the bathroom after being terribly sick I was never taken to the doctor.
Lightheadedness is typically related to autonomic dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction gets worse with inactivity. If you are feeling dizzy even with very light exercise, that is a sign that you could be quite dysregulated. Try to find a concussion clinic in your area as they can help you figure this out and develop a plan for how to best approach it! clinics.completeconcussions.com
Sparred for the first time at a boxing gym I had been training at. Irresponsible coaches threw me in too soon and too hard. I guess it’s my genetics that make me susceptible but I’ve been dealing with a concussion (cognitive slowness, memory problems) for a month now. CT is clear and I’ve set up an appt with neurologist. There are so many boxing gyms across the country that don’t know how to train fighters for longevity. Apparently I’m not the only one who’s experienced something like this. I texted one of the coaches and he left me on read hahaha. It’s crazy how they just don’t care about the kids that pay them every month.
As a teen who just got a concussion from wrestling and plan on going into boxing after my season (plan on training to be an mma fighter) this is quite scary. Any tips to ensure that the chances of long lasting brain damage is reduced and training for longevity? I hope you’re able to heal from this wishing the best
@@Lilcaucasians you have to accept that any time you’re getting hit in the head you’re doing damage to some degree to your brain. Boxing and fighting is an amazing confidence booster though. When you start training and sparring you’ll feel a confidence and adrenaline rush you’ve never felt before. After what I’m dealing with now and what happened to me I had to think is it worth it and for me it’s not because I don’t plan on making a career out of it and if this were to happen again it would once again get in the way of work and college (I had to delay my finals). For you it may be worth it though. Youll meet many hard working, driven people in any striking gym and hopefully stick with them for life. I think creatine helps prevent and reduce the extent of a concussion if you take it regularly. There are some nootropics like lions mane that help reduce the odds of stuff like dementia. Other than that just find a gym that spars smart. If your gym is sparring hard three times a week you may become a good and tough fighter but your career won’t last long and you’ll definitely suffer for it. Ramsey Dewey has some good views on brain damage and concussions on TH-cam. Most of the damage you get isn’t from fights it’s from sparring. If you control that you control the amount of damage you take.
@@BrokeMalone what are some exercises I can do to build and grow a strong neck? As a wrestler right now I see a lot of wrestlers with big strong necks. I’d like to develop one as I think this is a good point.
@@Lilcaucasians try those neck stretches that you do for a warm up, as a wrestler your neck should be pretty strong especially if you been training for years. Also weighted neck workouts
One week out from day of injury and I feel like a fraction of myself, haven’t gotten a chance to really rest with school, work, and adult life but I am doing what I can when I can. Going to try the daily walking among other things listed in this video. Will report back in a month with results !!!🫡
my 20 year old daughter has bad concussion, Last week she fainted but before she fell, she passed out then hit her head on something, we dont know what it was either does she, she woke up after a few minutes confused and scared she had no clue where she was, we have been to the hospital 3 times this week because she keeps fainting and falls, she actually fell down stairs today from an episode we have had 3 CT scans MRI blood work diabetes test everything checks out great the pain is just consistant and she feels a bit nauseous can anyone please maybe give me some advise on how to help her with pain we give her extra strength tylenol and advil gel capsules but it doesnt help so today the doctor gave her a week worth of tylenol 3 but how long will this pain last me and my husband do not want to give her all these pain pills either, I forgot to mention the impact was on her right side of her head but the whole right side is sore
Hi I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter you’re amazing for sticking by her, support from family means so much. I’m 21 and also had a concussion and still having symptoms for a while. How is she now?
@@rottenstrawberries9024 I'm so sorry your going through this also, I hope your doing good, my daughter is actually doing better the only problem she's having is stiffness around the back of her neck and a little pain but nothing too bad, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with her concussion so ill be keeping an eye on that
I have a metal window falling down my head at work my ct mri normal I was off work 2 weeks I lost some hearing, dizziness vertigo vomiting imbalance after 6 months I’m still dizziness and imbalance why?
This could be due to a variety of reasons (autonomic issues, vestibular, visual, neck, etc.) - check out our patient video series playlist for more info!
I am in boxing and I was sparring got hit in the back of the head did not get knocked out I have had a concussion for over 2 months eyes and ears are sensitive and my head feels like threes not enough pressure in it I have went to the gym through that time done some cardio but it is still not fully recovered
I have MS and fell while sleeping and knocked my self out unknown how long.. went to work head pain, foggy, confused. Went to the er and CT scan showed regular. Sent home to rest and contact concussion clinic, been resting, sleeping for 2 days and increased Water dramatically. Er doctor said I am hit with double whammy with my ppms and now the concussion. What now? Why am I still a mess.
I got hit on the head while playing boxing its been like 22hours since then and i feel a bit dizzy when i sit down and a 4/10 headache at the top of my head should i be worried?
Headed a hard football wrong during a game with instant sharp pain all through my head was dizzy for 5 seconds.. Felt weird for a day so far.. Is this enough for concussion?
Absolutely, I have a concussion and those were the exact symptoms I had after being dropped on my head and neck in a wrestling match. Go see a doctor if you haven’t already.
My Mom fell in January, near new years. She fell on her face, her nose bled a little bit where her glasses injured it when she fell. Since then, she's been doing her normal activities, however she has these episodes where she gets dizzy, and almost passes out. She didn't have those daily episodes before the fall. Sometimes she gets nauseated. She never went to a Dr. for the initial injury. Her face swelled up for a couple of weeks and she had a black eye. She's 73 years old. She has a few health issues, including Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, and Very High Blood Pressure.
First rule out anything cardiac...but it sounds like an orthostatic issue - if she feels dizzy only when standing then it could be orthostatic hypotension or POTS. I've done some videos on POTS as well that you can check out
I was walking my dog, I felt dizzy and got confused on the path, my dog took control and walked me the rest of the way home. Thankfully he was in tune with me and sensed my state. And so clever to know the way 🏡 home.
Pets can be such angels sometimes
Do you have a concussion prior to walking your dog? Normal, and you all often felt dizzy with no with no cause? I hope you're OK, how did this episode turn out?
❤️
yes, all sites i've read so far say not to be left alone first 48 hours after a head injury. sounds like you weren't quite ready? hope you are OK!
Same thing happened with my son! Thank God for dogs!!
Anybody else watchin this concussed
Yep
Yep I am
Got punched in the face lol
I got kneed in the face while playin soccer
Hell yeah
Had an accident at work I’m so scared it’s so stressful. These videos are so helpful and scary at the same time. I’m an emotional wreck.
Me too. I’m an athlete and hit my head on the floor, I’ve been crying non stop and panicking. Diagnosed with a concussion , this sucks so much :(
@@Manifestandchill how are you doing now?
@@ManifestandchillSo did I ! It was so crazy scary 😢 I cried, and then drove myself to the ER, they had a CT scan done on me, but nothing shows up ever never never, and I don’t know what to think if I should be frustrated or glad. But my concussion was very bad very painful and I felt like a part of my head sunken in and a lot of bumps started to form around that it was so scary. I am still in pain.
Please take good care of yourself. Put you first.. I'm sending you good vibes..
Yeah, I cocooned for three months, and haven’t been back to work in a year, this explains a lot.
I too had a concussion last month, and have been cocooned since then. Did your symptoms fade away once you became active?
@@sid98geek yes, things improve with steady state cardio. But it must be done below the threshold of symptoms. Check out the Buffalo concussion treadmill test, by Dr John Leddy. It’s critical to perform exercise daily for things to improve.
For those currently watching w a concussion: MCT oil, omega 3 supplements, & 2000-3000 mg of vitamin c help a ton! Also make sure to eat legumes, salmon, pumpkin seeds, nuts, & drink ur protein shakes!! Ik it can b Hard to keep an appetite but w protein shakes u get all the protein & nutrients u need. So make sure to actually eat well balanced meals but if u r too nauseas or full to eat, have a protein shake
Thank you for this recommendation
And avoid sugar. It's inflammatory!
You don't get all the nutrition you need from proteinshakes...
@@pontusrydstrom5869 true
Do protein shakes actually work?
Treatment for concussion - good food, meditation, message, excersise, limited tv. Concussion should be good in two weeks, for some people it takes time because they get stressed and have negative thought that can also aggravate the pain. Stay relaxed and everything is gonna good.
@cute dog really?? Broda I’m gonna pray for you, InshAllah everything is gonna be good. I know times are hard, but concussion aren’t that bad that you get cancer. I’m gonna pray for you, you are gonna be good in 3 weeks time.
@cute dog bro trust me go out and go for exercise. Go for cycling and even if you feel dizzy rest for a bit. Nothing is gonna happen
@cute dog just go and exercise for a bit bro. Get out of the comfort zone, depression is not healing the injury. Brain is the most powerfull, it can anything to your body. Trust me start doing meditation, exercise and pray. INSHALLAH are gonna be good in a month time. Nutrition is also important, take protein alot, take fish oil, eat salmon, eggs, fruits, massage to your head with olive oil. Trust me you are gonna be good.
So helpful ty
Stress definitely flares it. I was feeling better and someone called me with their problems and I started feeling bad aagain. Never again.
This is my 4th concussion. My concussion and migraine doctor said exactly all of this. The vitamins and and diet work amazingly. I've had chronic migraines since I was a kid due to concussions and the brain fog went away, I wasn't as forgetful, I had a better understanding of what was going on around me. It really did wonders
Amazing :)
Hi what symptoms did you suffer with may I ask pls
@@nylakhan5658 I had dizziness, nausea, headache almost instantly sensitivity to light
@@emmajohnston-ward4209 how many times did you puke up I suffered with a concussion it’s been 4 weeks now I have changed my diet clean eating and I take black seed capsules.
What supplements u take or any tips cause I’m on my 4th concussion too
There’s a middle ground between resting in a dark room for a month and going on walks and runs the first week of having a brain injury. It’s important to refrain from exercise that jar the brain such as aerobics, jogging etc- going for a easy walk, some stretching or gentle yoga is good. But definitely no rush or reason to engage in any exercise except gentle fluid movements such as light walking, stretching and limit screen time and reading ( not avoid altogether but limited)
Thank you, for this no nonsense, enabling presentation.
Been resting for first day after blow to the head and going to take a walk soon, upon your recommendation.
Green tea helps with dizziness, and taking vitamin c and magnesium.
Also, taking your advice and trying to eat clean and cut out the crap!
Thanks, again, and hope everyone gets better, sooner 🙏🏽
YAHIA LABABIDI how r u doing now.
@@afzaal19871 Much better, thank you. It took around 2 weeks to fully recover.
Don't underestimate deep breathing if you are getting headaches, honestly one of the only things that has helped me
Thank you! Will try this.
As an animation student the whole screen nausea thing is frightening. I may have to drop out if my symptoms don't improve this week but I think this advice is good. I need to reintroduce things gradually. I might watch some tv tonight and start drawing on paper but not animating just yet.
Its so scary to go from one of the most active periods of my career to just like couching but its what the doctor ordered. Thanks for giving me permission to get out the dark room it helped.
My symptoms still come and go but I feel this videos advice helped tremendously. A month on from my concussion im doing better. I got blue light filter glasses and returned to work four hours a day during week 2. Then worked 6 hours the week after. Whenever i try overworking my migraine returns that night. I take this as a sign to take it easy the day after. This normally means im animating 2 outa 3 days but i feel like this will get better with time and i can rest properly during the semester break. I am getting thru my assignments slowly. If anything this has forced me to take my work life balance more seriously. I now stop working at 5 regardless of anything that's happening.
@@gcoolsnow7591 take the time to recover every day spent recovering early will save you several days of symptoms later. I spent an entire week without a clear diagnosis and my recovery took longer as a result thankfully feeling better now.
It's a nightmare for musicians too. Sound induced concussions burn so bad, didn't want to get out of bed, cognitive problems. Thanks for the video! It was very scary!
@@mutantmechahow are you now? I’m also an student and sometimes I experience brain fog or lack of focus when studying so I really want to recover fully. Got hit on the head around 6 months ago.
@@shiiraga1111i started wearing blue light filtering glasses everywhere and i found that helped allot with light sensitivity. When recovering I whould push myself a lil past the point of comfort but still scaled things back allot. I'm starting to realise i was very fortunate to recover the way i did but it was still incredibly difficult. I dont know how practical this is but i also take ritilin for adhd and have discovered it's actually prescribed for concussions i think its what saved me from the brain fog. Its worth looking into. I didn't realise but my brain fog got worse after the concussion because my ritilin masked it so well. I think it's important to realise your new limits but work towards moving past them when you can i know thats hard to hear but it really helps this video was a godsend for giving me permission to do that. But please be kind to yourself i hope you do well and complete your studies.
Thanks for the great video! I fell today on ice and don't remember falling. I remember getting up and there was blood everywhere. I bashed my head and went to the ER. 10 staples to close the gash. Got a concussion. Not sure how long I was out for on the ground outside. So this is why I'm here. No symptoms except pain from the fall on my head. Hoping that's all I get.
I fell on ice as well! This video made me feel a lot better
I fell recently. Head vs Concrete. Hoping I feel better soon
@@candynell8779same here around the same time! Keep me posted!
Great tips thank you. Im getting more proactive with my own recovery and getting out there every day, baby steps. Rest, get better, think you are recovered, try to return to normal life, turn into a pumpkin within an hour, rest, recover, do it all over again. Vicious circle. Clean home cooked whole foods, supplementation, light exercise, sauna, i wanna get a ball to “juggle” or throw in a circle, work on hand eye coordination, i wanna get small hurdles, work on stepping over them, throw a basketball, stuff like that
Reading comments and watching this after a concussion. My main symptom today is a headache that extends to behind my ear. The comments have given me hope of recovery. ❤
Same with me headache behind ear as soon as I lift my mobile phone
Same for me also head ache that extend behind my ear
Thank you so much for this help. While I appreciate my Hospital help...I was only told everything verbally and so of course retained NOTHING to memory. Thank you for sharing this. -Canadian/Ontario
Great video! It's always amazing to me how gradual controlled exercise is the best cure for practically any physical situation. I'm thrilled to test those out and see myself getting better!
Thank you sir, my mom got a concussion due to a high fever causing her to loose consciousness, it was very scary because she was so irritable and I was scared I wasn’t doing stuff right, God bless your soul sir
THANK YOU!!! You gave me better advice than my own doctor. Who just waved my concussion away as if it was nothing with don't think too much and just rest, and I just left like ehm ok??, feeling extra lost. I am really grateful for your video and that I came across your advice. This makes so much sense for what I am experiencing and I finally know what I actually can do for full recovery. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
:)
I feel the same!!
Ditto 😊
hit my head on the table while trying to lay down 3 days ago. it hurt. i felt a little nauseated and a light headache and fuzziness but other than that, not much else. i don't have much trouble going to sleep. i still have light headaches in certain places on my head, but i still function well. i can't get to the doctors bc of covid and also i dont wanna pay a lot for this concussion. I tend to worry a lot and i pray this doesn't cause long-term injuries or bleeding. Online classes will start soon and i hope my symptoms don't get worse. Thank you for this.
Hey, how you feeling? How long it took to recover?
So helpful, thank you! A week after my concussion I went to the gym with a headache and did the stationary bike for 40 minutes, my symptoms started to improve after that; I think the blood flow really did help and endorphins are a natural pain killer! I've been doing stationary bike all week and maybe in a few days, exactly two weeks after my concussion, I can try light jogging.
Thank you for making this video. It gave me the confidence to get on with my life even though I still have mild symptoms after 2 months (headaches, fatigue).
Amazing! If you want to get rid of those last symptoms, check out Concussion Fix program in description!
It's walking the dog that gave me the concussion 😂😂
Would be great to see this research you're citing..
Source: Just trust me bro
Karen
And he’s a dr jus trust him
Would you say that to your doctor if you went in for an appointment? Lol
I went to the ER and I just got a note for work only giving me weight restrictions and not being able to bend or kneel. Work didn’t agree with it and sent me home to rest. I took a nap and have been in bed and I feel worse! I think there is truth in it based off of my personal experience. I’m clumsy and had a lot of them over the years and never did the whole resting in bed until I felt better. This may not be the case entirely with severe ones, but I’ve only experienced mild ones.
I find this interesting. I just came home from hospital with concussion and they told me to lay low for while but when I do, I feel worse. I like this idea much better, I don't wanna risk staying in bed too long😝😝😝
How are you now? Its only been 1month for me. Headaches, mood issues, dizzy. 😓
@@blackentrepreneur244 seems like it took me little while but I feel pretty much back to normal now. I do have little more depression but I found if I take a good amount of Mucuna it seems to help. Hope you start feeling better.
Did you hit the front area or back area of your head? I got a concussion but never blacked out only mild headaches and slight dizzyness and fuzzy feeling in my head. What helped alliviate some of the pain? They said i should be fine when i went to the doctor since my symptoms are not terrible. Also glad to hear your doing better!
@@lilbank2521 I actually don't know what part of my head I hit 🤔. I passed out while getting dressed and was near the shower when I woke up on the floor and unable to move. Once I was able to move, had my son drive me to hospital where they said I had concussion. I'm guessing when I went down I hit my head on the shower but my whole head hurt so I don't know what part was hit. I do feel I made a full recovery, thank you for your kind words👍😊👍😊👍😊. I didn't stay in bed too long since everything I read said not to. I'm guessing that really helped since I got over it within few days.
Hope you have the same experience and make full recovery quickly 😊👌. Good luck you you 🌟🙏🌟🙏
What if my headache hasnt subside I have fibromyalgia and got hit in the head 9 days ago and the pressure hasnt stopped. I went to the ER and no fracture just excruciating head pressure.
Seriously this is the most helpful video ever I swearrrrrr .
Bruh I’m pissed at my doctor and neurologist they had me doing nothing it’s been over 2 months!!! I’m going to try this thank you 🙏
How are you now?
Try 5 years
Very good advice.
I've just recovered from my concussion yesterday. I got my concussion after arguing with my mom and i went outside and punch my head. After 4 hours i woke up and i have a severe pain in my head i was nauseous i vomited many times. Just be positive always and rest is important stay hydrated exercise if you feel your symptoms just rest do some inhale exhale stay away from depressing stuff watch something that can make you positive it can make you feel better. Talk with your friends and family they can help you get rid of your concussion. And don't forget to Pray ❤
I'm still sick 6 months
Thank you for this
I am still thinking 🤔 why you bumped your head
Hey how u feeling? Did u go to dr
What is "I went outside and punch my head"? If you punched your own head, maybe next time you should pray you dont punch yourself in the head again. Then you wont have a concussion to pray away. Just a thought.😉
Some of my own tips based on my own experience:
-Avoid bright lights flashing lights and electric lights, this includes screens.
-Avoid spicy foods.
-Lay in the forest to reduce symptoms for a hours.
-Avlid loud noises.
-Avoid greasy or fatty foods.
-Avoid sugary food and drink.
-Eat a balanced diet.
-Avoid uncooked foods.
-If your phone has an Iris scanner disable it in settings>biometrics.
What do you do for pain?
This was really helpful thank you 🙏🏽
I'm not meaning to be disrespectful but the headache that I had was exasterbated the light and electronics. When I cut that out it healed. I agree diet matters
It is best to listen to your body. I went to work after only one day off because I was dismissed at a walk-in, it only made things worse. I eventually listened to my body and took my sick days until I could see my family doctor a week later. She gave the old-school advice of sitting in a dark room, which I did for a couple days. I find the screen still bothers me even with my glasses with blue light blocking. I limit my screen time and rest if overexerted. I do gentle yoga, meditation, clean eating, and supplements. I will add walking, it has just been so cold! It will be 2 weeks in a couple days but when I see my doctor then I will ask for treatment recovery besides rest. I don't want these symptoms long-term!
Such sweet words to hear. Thanks
Great advice
Best advice in the world
Whats the research called? Interested in reading more about it
Would you please add links to the current studies about concussion management that you refer to. I work with people with acquired brain injury and want to stay up to date with current concussion management approaches.
Hi, i have been suffering from what I believe is concussion for 1.5 years. I was reluctant to accept concussion as multiple MRIs came back clear. I also have a vestibular condition (90% paresis in right ear) all this arose following a very impactful bike ride down a mountain, which resembled a 15 minute bike ride down a flight of stairs!! Quick question, does hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with concussion?
Unfortunately MRI doesn't show concussion - so will always be clear. Hyperbaric - So far, the bulk of the evidence says that it is NOT effective for concussion recovery (although it is heavily marketed for this purpose). There are some poor quality trials that people point to as evidence of effectiveness, however all of the good quality trials show that it is no better than placebo.
Absolutely true thank you doctor
I suffered a concussion 2 years ago, still healing, and although my doctor has restricted me I had to continue with my life, the best I could, because I have children and my husband works full time. And I've tried all the natural things people are listing for 2 years and we eat very healthy always. I can say personally none of these things have helped or made any difference with how I feel/my symptoms but lead to me severely injuring myself a year later due to dizziness from my concussion. I was walking downstairs and had a severe dizzy spell and fell from the top, 20 steps. From a person that has to live their daily life with a concussion I can say do not put yourself out there too soon, DO NOT push yourself to get back to whatever your normal routine was, DO rest, DO take it extremely easy until you are healed, DO focus on things that bring about peace and helps keep you motivated during this really hard time. I did not fully follow my neurologist and neuro-psychologist instructions at first and once I did start following his instructions and restrictions I started to feel better, still have a ways to go but listening to my doctor made the biggest difference compared to myself back into my pre-concussion routine.
Right there with you; try Neuro feedback, vision therapy, hyperbaric oxygen helped me.. still getting back to it but my pain levels are way more manageable
5 weeks ago I got my first concussion. I was unconscious for almost 5 minutes. There’s no way I could have returned to work in the first few days or few weeks post concussion . I was a wreck. Anxiety was sky high. Severe dizziness. Pounding headaches. Numbness in my face and feet. I’m still getting dizziness and headaches though not as often but I experience “brain fog” and dizziness. This has definitely been a long recovery and I hope these symptoms go away soon (I eat well and stay hydrated).
Sorry to hear about your injury. Check out the Concussion Fix program to help you with the recovery of these symptoms! concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/
I'm not a doctor, but the numbness may indicate injury to your spine.
How are things now 7 months later?
Do you still feel brain fog now?
I hit my head about 1 month ago and i still have light headaches that started minutes after the injury, its not a bad headache just slight and it never goes away. It is maybe slightly worse over time and was significantly worse after the first week
I am experiencing the same. How is your head feeling now?
@@sid98geek 100% better like new now it probably wasnt until 3-4 months that i felt totally better, but it also didnt begin to improve until about 2 months in for (about 2 months) it really didnt improve whatsoever and then all of a sudden one day i began feeling differently. To be honest i feel like it may have been somewhat stress related not that hitting my head didnt cause it. It did., but a lot of things happend right around then (my concussion, broken up relationship, repeatedly getting the flu) I was under a lot of stress and eventually it just kind of resolved itself. Time, patience and collecting myself healed it. I suppose im lucky some never pull out of it and maybe i am kidding myself and i probably sustained some long term damage but its not something ive noticed or thought about in quite a while
Awesome, thanks for sharing! AND you said tidbits; happy to support a fellow Canadian!
Is tidbits Canadian?! I did not know that haha
I have laid my squishy left part of the head on a hard metal table for a minute, and it got sore for a day so far. Big mistake. But my symptoms doesn't seem strong. Either way, I got some recovery to do. I guess it is safe for me to still work which is part of physical activity. Thanks for the tips. I feel less scared. Heck, I have been on a diet either way.
getting into ketosis would be very beneficial for sure
Dizziness, Lost and confused doesn't mix with driving. That leaves me out from returning to work.
How r you now
I have been looking for help with my concussion but no help for people with no coverage
Thank you.
Thank you for this video I have been overthinking because I got hit again where I had gotten my 1st concussion only 3 months ago. My job is very stressful I work with children with autism and I'm ready to get out. I pray God gets me out soon.🙏🏽
SUMMARY
1. Max 2 days off work.
2. Time off shouldn't be inactive. Time off should be moderate rest. Screens, walking, emails etc. should NOT be avoided wholesale.
3. Those who take more than 1-2 days off, worsen symptoms and recovery. Rationale: concussions reduce blood flow, and inactivity exacerbates low blood flow.
4. Avoid activities with high probability of subsequent concussions: e.g. wrestling
5. Avoid that which significantly increase symptoms e.g. activities that increase intensity of pain from 4 to 6.
6. Use activities that either: don't increase concussion symptoms at all, or only minorly
7. Eat clean, cut pro inflammatories: e.g. processed meats, sugars, gluten, dairy. Pro inflammatory foods can impact the brain.
Should I cut off milk (powdered milk) ? I really need and like it since I’m still a teen
how do i fix this i was playing rugby and in my pre season match i got concussed and then toke 6 mouths of rugby amd then came back this really weird i got concussed again but this time it was on the same player same field same play witch was come off the back of the srum anyway after 2 years of not playing i came back this year and i am still getting saw head after saw head how do i fix this
Please see this comment, I was skating and got a pretty bad concussion yesterday and i work construction what are your thoughts on going back to work after 3 to 4 days?
Find a healthcare professional to work with...
You better bro?
Thanks ❤❤
I hit my head cause of too much drink other than light headache/dizzyness and a bit of nausea i feel nothing much i still doing my thing daily
Thanks a lot !!
I'm in days 2 or 3 of my concussion but were in the time of covid so I cannot get into my doctor which sucks.
You can check this out if you're interested (it's more for people with long-term symptoms, but there's a ton of useful info for any concussion patient) - concussiondoc.io/courses/the-concussion-fix/
I had to take a covid test to prove a negative result. The clinic wouldn't see me since I was nauseous, had headaches and was vomitting. Told me I had covid and not a concussion. Bad time to be sick.
Day six of a concussion. My hearing is still messed up. When I speak, it sounds like I’m in a tunnel/under water; when I listen to other people talk it’s really difficult to make out what they are saying. I can hear cars and birds like normal.
exactly how i am feeling currently
@@delilamarie7514 Day 11 for me and my hearing is slowing getting better. Hang in there!
Have you been to a doctor? I had those symptoms and was told it was important to get a CT scan to rule out nasties. My scan was clear. I ended up having to do vestibular rehab to deal with balance issues which progressed over time. Good luck
@@jessbooth5495 I did go to a doctor at the week two mark. I couldnt get an appointment with my family doctor, but I ended up speaking to one at a drop in clinic. Needless to say he wasnt the most intelligent doctor. He did a once over and confirmed that I had a concussion. He didnt suggest a CT scan or anything. My hearing and everything is back to normal thankfully. The soccer ball to my head clearly shook things up but I feel like I've made a full recovery. I hope you're having a good recovery on your end! Its not fun dealing with hearing issues.
@SpringCat HV! I'm so sorry to hear that. Getting punched in the head is awful!
It is scary isnt it? It feels so discouraging when you start to lose hope. Be patient with your body as it heals. Were you able to get a doctors visit?
Have you covered the topic of numbness? I get numbness in my toes and legs - just tiny tiny tingling in small areas - when I for example exercise. Havent seen this covered anywhere so would love for a video
I'm not a doctor but you might have injured your spine.
@@luckylunaloops I actually went to a doctor who specializes in concussions and figured out the issue. I have tight muscles in my hips, so after doing hip stretches the numbness has disappeared. And thats why the numbness was "random" places. Same with my fingers, i had tight muscles above my chest. So happpy i figured it out!!
@@camillahare7855 That's great. Glad you got it sorted!
I’m only fifteen skateboarding was going so fast and my broad stopped and I flew and smashed the left side of my head and my vision was blurry for 10 mins it has been a day but the back left side of my head is soo big and it’s annoying to raise my eyebrows I through up one time but I don’t feel like eating or drinking anything and I don’t know what to do I fell like playing video games with my friends but I don’t really know if that’s bad and it’s really hot outside to walk and I wanna go to the er to make sure my head is ok cause it’s huge and I jus don’t want my parents to spend to much money for that so I’m stuck with hardly any options I hope u guys have some recommendations
There is very little good professional help for concussions in my area. No clinics who specialise in this care. What do you recommend to do?
Hit my head yesterday, it hurts to sit up.... I'm supposed to move around.. I feel drunk constantly
He did say rest for 1-2 days or so and then move about as tolerated.
I hope you’re better
Hope u’re feeling better!
Good luck
Is there any point in resting for 1-2 days if you had delayed symptoms? I’m 4 days from my concussion and symptoms didn’t become obvious until yesterday.
I hit my head a couple months ago but I'm still very very dizzy swollen brain fog , neck pain blurry in one eye the side of the head i hit can i still do these or ??? Do i need to go to the dr
What are your credentials? Your recommendations are flying in the face of all of our medical recommendations regarding screens and reading.
That usually means they are correct....there is ZERO concussion training in medical schools. There is also zero evidence to suggest that screens are harmful. These are "wives tales" that for some reason continue to get propagated
I'm still suffering from a concussion from 4 years ago. Can you help me? I did everything suggested in this video but it hasn't helped.
Yes - I would recommend that you look into the Concussion Fix program (google it and read some reviews!). We are running a Black Friday sale where you can register for only $1: concussiondoc.io/offer/join-concussion-fix-now/?coupon=socialcdoc
OMG thank you
While watching from bed lol
what if after concussion you suffered loss of consciousness for 30 minutes? what's the best thing to do.?
Get.To.The.ER!!!!
I hit my head about two months ago and symptoms just began about a week ago 😕 I’ve been experiencing migraines, mood swings and irregular body temperature
My headache is persistently painful so much so that I need to take anti inflamatories and painkillers yet i cannot spend time bending over to do a task as this increases my pain. I was diagnosed with a small hematoma and whiplash but honestly i think I should've had a CT scan.
St Michael hospital at the head traumatic clinic says to take my time, do nothing. No activities 😕
Sorry to hear that...for most concussion patients that is the exact wrong approach!
Start walking, steady state cardio is a must, check out Buffalo treadmill test.
Yea mine will take up to few years or bit more
Hiya I live in the uk and they recommend we treat concussion at home unless u have been knocked out etc would u still recommend I see someone
That's because the UK is quite far behind with respect to concussion treatment. If you have a CompleteConcussions.com clinic near you I would suggest you go there. If not, check out the concussion fix program (in the description above). Those are your best bets for insuring a quick recovery!
Did anyone’s doc suggest a MRI? I already took ct and X-ray and came out normal. I don’t want more radiation. I tripped and body fell to concrete ground.
Same happened to me last week. A month later are you feeling any better? Or are you back to normal yet?
My head is crackling after being hit on my forehead since the last year, so what should I do? Btw, I am a 12 year old
Is it safe to take bath after head injury
What about puzzles or maybe trivia???
sounds fun!
Its been two weeks since I initially hit my head and was told it is a concussion earlier this week. Still have headaches everyday slight dizziness and occasional nausea. Ive been told no TV, no reading, and no bright lights. Basically do nothing that stimulates the brain. IM BORED!
You have been given incorrect and dated advice...check out concussiondoc.io . Two weeks means it's time to start fixing the issue...otherwise you'll still be here in 2 years
Hi, are your dizziness and nausea gone?
I kept throwing up and getting lost in my own home. I was always calling for my mom to help me get out of the bathroom. I would say mom I need help and she would say we’re are you and I would be in my bedroom and I would be in the bathroom after being terribly sick I was never taken to the doctor.
Got a mild concussion boxing and didn’t know so I kept training like an athlete sparring ect😓
Its been 3 years
Same here
Same, 3 years; hyperbaric oxygen, Neuro feedback, vision therapy have been game changers for me. Try them if possible
What if you feel a little bit lightheaded? I’ve avoided walking because I’m worried about that
Lightheadedness is typically related to autonomic dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction gets worse with inactivity. If you are feeling dizzy even with very light exercise, that is a sign that you could be quite dysregulated. Try to find a concussion clinic in your area as they can help you figure this out and develop a plan for how to best approach it! clinics.completeconcussions.com
Sparred for the first time at a boxing gym I had been training at. Irresponsible coaches threw me in too soon and too hard. I guess it’s my genetics that make me susceptible but I’ve been dealing with a concussion (cognitive slowness, memory problems) for a month now. CT is clear and I’ve set up an appt with neurologist. There are so many boxing gyms across the country that don’t know how to train fighters for longevity. Apparently I’m not the only one who’s experienced something like this. I texted one of the coaches and he left me on read hahaha. It’s crazy how they just don’t care about the kids that pay them every month.
As a teen who just got a concussion from wrestling and plan on going into boxing after my season (plan on training to be an mma fighter) this is quite scary. Any tips to ensure that the chances of long lasting brain damage is reduced and training for longevity? I hope you’re able to heal from this wishing the best
@@Lilcaucasians you have to accept that any time you’re getting hit in the head you’re doing damage to some degree to your brain. Boxing and fighting is an amazing confidence booster though. When you start training and sparring you’ll feel a confidence and adrenaline rush you’ve never felt before. After what I’m dealing with now and what happened to me I had to think is it worth it and for me it’s not because I don’t plan on making a career out of it and if this were to happen again it would once again get in the way of work and college (I had to delay my finals). For you it may be worth it though. Youll meet many hard working, driven people in any striking gym and hopefully stick with them for life. I think creatine helps prevent and reduce the extent of a concussion if you take it regularly. There are some nootropics like lions mane that help reduce the odds of stuff like dementia. Other than that just find a gym that spars smart. If your gym is sparring hard three times a week you may become a good and tough fighter but your career won’t last long and you’ll definitely suffer for it. Ramsey Dewey has some good views on brain damage and concussions on TH-cam. Most of the damage you get isn’t from fights it’s from sparring. If you control that you control the amount of damage you take.
@@Lilcaucasians strong neck... u can't stop the damage but u can help ur head absorb the hardest hits wit a strong neck
@@BrokeMalone what are some exercises I can do to build and grow a strong neck? As a wrestler right now I see a lot of wrestlers with big strong necks. I’d like to develop one as I think this is a good point.
@@Lilcaucasians try those neck stretches that you do for a warm up, as a wrestler your neck should be pretty strong especially if you been training for years. Also weighted neck workouts
One week out from day of injury and I feel like a fraction of myself, haven’t gotten a chance to really rest with school, work, and adult life but I am doing what I can when I can. Going to try the daily walking among other things listed in this video. Will report back in a month with results !!!🫡

Hi I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter you’re amazing for sticking by her, support from family means so much. I’m 21 and also had a concussion and still having symptoms for a while. How is she now?
@@rottenstrawberries9024 I'm so sorry your going through this also, I hope your doing good, my daughter is actually doing better the only problem she's having is stiffness around the back of her neck and a little pain but nothing too bad, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with her concussion so ill be keeping an eye on that
I have a metal window falling down my head at work my ct mri normal I was off work 2 weeks I lost some hearing, dizziness vertigo vomiting imbalance after 6 months I’m still dizziness and imbalance why?
This could be due to a variety of reasons (autonomic issues, vestibular, visual, neck, etc.) - check out our patient video series playlist for more info!

Sent home to rest and contact concussion clinic, been resting, sleeping for 2 days and increased Water dramatically. Er doctor said I am hit with double whammy with my ppms and now the concussion.

I got hit on the head while playing boxing its been like 22hours since then and i feel a bit dizzy when i sit down and a 4/10 headache at the top of my head should i be worried?
Headed a hard football wrong during a game with instant sharp pain all through my head was dizzy for 5 seconds.. Felt weird for a day so far.. Is this enough for concussion?
Absolutely, I have a concussion and those were the exact symptoms I had after being dropped on my head and neck in a wrestling match. Go see a doctor if you haven’t already.

Head feels a bit light after my electric skateboard hit an edge in a road making me fly forward and hit my helmet side.
My Mom fell in January, near new years. She fell on her face, her nose bled a little bit where her glasses injured it when she fell. Since then, she's been doing her normal activities, however she has these episodes where she gets dizzy, and almost passes out. She didn't have those daily episodes before the fall. Sometimes she gets nauseated. She never went to a Dr. for the initial injury. Her face swelled up for a couple of weeks and she had a black eye. She's 73 years old. She has a few health issues, including Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, and Very High Blood Pressure.
First rule out anything cardiac...but it sounds like an orthostatic issue - if she feels dizzy only when standing then it could be orthostatic hypotension or POTS. I've done some videos on POTS as well that you can check out
Can we consult with you any no
I'm fixed now
