How much force does it take to have another concussion after you already suffered one? laptop bumped my head. only symptom i had was headache.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: You are right in saying it may take less force after a concussion to bring about a second one, especially if the first concussion was recent. That being said, it would certainly take more than a minor bump from a laptop to do that. If any concerns, don't hesitate to be seen.
