The effects of: concussion can be frustratingly long! Headaches, nausea and even cognitive difficulties (memory, word finding etc) This condition has a medical diagnosis "Post Concussive Syndrome" There are some treatments available but you are best served by seeing a Neurologist! Ask your Primary Care Provider for a referral. Hope this helps! Dr Z

Brainstem effect: The mechanism of concussion results from a deformation of the brain stem at the level of the migraine driver and the vomiting center. If the nausea comes with headache you are having post concussive migraine. Speak to your doctor about migraine preventative such as amitriptyline, Inderal (propranolol) or Topiramate.
