REST: Concussions cause fatigue and the treatment is to 'rest the brain'.   'yawning', tiredness, napping, decreased concentration, headaches are common symptoms. You should be getting frequent follow-ups to check progress. Some offices can do impact testing (computer software) to measure improvement. You should get seen right away if any new neurological symptoms: weakness, numbness, gait disturbance..

Question 2

what are the symptoms of a mild concussion?

Accepted Answer

: Alteration in thinking/visual disturbance/balance problems/discomfort in the spine of your neck/generalized headache &amp; heart rhythm abnormalities within the period of the event are all factors used to label a concussion. Without basic symptoms of a concussion you would not have a brain damage label. A mild concussion might be possible but the description does not support the label.
