Question

I hit my head yesterday- still have dizziness, nausea, headache today. Is this a concussion?

Answer 1

Concussion: Symptoms of headache, dizziness and fogginess of thinking can linger 4-6 weeks after a concussion.

Answer 2

Post-concussive synd: Most symptoms of a concussion - headaches and dizziness get better within four to six weeks of injury.

Answer 3

Concussion symptoms: can last for weeks.

Answer 4

Post-traumatic: Your symptoms are not atypical for a closed head injury. Much of this should resolve over a maximum of 4-6 weeks, but if dizziness or headache is persistent, see your doctor for further interventions.

Answer 5

CONCUSSION: It is best to discuss this with your Neurologist who knows your medical history. If you are uncomfortable with your Dr. consult with another for a 2nd opinion.
