A member asked:
Son 16 had major concussion last may. past 5 months he's been very fatigued and unable to stay awake sleeping 13+ hrs a day. is this a delay reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no: "delayed reaction" to a concussion. If he had similar symptoms at the time that resolved then think of something else. On the other hand if the concussion was severe enough and went undiagnosed and treated effectively then this could represent the continuing effects. See your doctor first and follow advice.
