A member asked:
Had a concussion a year or so before. last night someone whipped a ping pong ball and it hit the back of my head? should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: It is very unlikely a ping pong ball would create enough force to cause a concussion, even if it was hit very hard. Observe yourself for headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, memory and concentration problems and other post-concussive symptoms. Seek medical attention if these develop and last beyond a day.
