Why is it recommended to avoid bending and stooping while i have a concussion?

Intracranial pressur: In case of concussion needs to be stabilized, stooping may increase the pressure or worsen a problem like small bleed, that would be only for a limited period of observation, wish you wellness

Rest: Generally after concussion rest is much needed. Rest means no TV, minimum physical activity. This allow the "fragile concussed brain" to recoup and recover.
