A member asked:
Is it bad to yawn excessively i had a concussion a couple of days ago and i've been feeling really tired since, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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..
