What are the chances of getting a concussion while in a car and driver hits another car.but going slow,no more than 15 miles/h. didnt hit my head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concussion : If you didn't hit your head then you didn't suffer a concussion. A concussion will leave a person with headaches that worsen with exertion. There is often nausea, dizziness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and poor memory for learning new information. Rest is prescribed until the headaches resolve.
