Drinking enough?: Are you drinking enough fluids?  If you feel you are and you continue to experience headaches, you need to see a physician asap. It might be a good idea to have this  checked out anyway.

Question 2

Question 3

i am 35 years old.after many years i played football yesterday and started headache and dizziness ..is it normal suggest me?

Accepted Answer

Poor condition: We don't know anything about your medical history, medications, BMI or physical conditioning. You are likely in poor physical condition and suddenly forced your body to engage in strenuous activity (adrenergic). Your body is not conditioned properly for this level of activity and you are experiencing the consequences. I encourage you to begin a medically supervised physical conditioning program.

Question 4

i play varsity high school football, sometimes when i do a play, i get a headache or head stings sensation that lasts 30-120 sec after impact. help?

Accepted Answer

Concussion : The risk of head injury in football is real. Your helmet does not protect you from brain damage that can be permanent. It's hard to understand the gravity and reality of our brain injury when we are young. Learn to tackle correctly and don't lead with your head and you can minimize the risks. Be educated. Tbi and CTE start at head injury #1. See NFL head health challenge. Good luck.

Question 5

i play football and sometimes i get hit in the head and i end up seeing upside down for like 10 seconds. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You may be having symptoms related to
a concussion
if you were in the nfl, you would be taken
out of the game and evaluated before being
able to play further.
It should be the same for anyone
never fool around with head or cervical
spine injuries.

Question 6

Football and cold: A common cold is caused by a virus. If you push your body hard with work outs when you are ill, you run a risk of not recovering as quickly or fully. In addition, you can get secondary bacterial infection and bronchitis. A more uncommon problem of viral upper respiratory infection can be pericarditis.

Question 8

i get my wisdom tooth pulled out tomorrow and i play football so i would like to know when can go back to football and start practicing ?

Accepted Answer

Take it easy : Contact sports requiet proper healing of the tissue so it doesn't rip open on contact with other players. Usually it requires about one week for initial healing that allows you to work out but to avoid contact. Maybe another week for normal practice. Every one heals at different rate and depends on amount of surgery. Best to ask the surgeon before scheduling tthe surgery.
