What symptoms do concussions cause? i had a convulsive syncope episode three weeks ago and er said i was fine just dehydrated. i wrestle and have a concussion i think. feeling foggy from time to time and have to lay down. is this bad?

If you are still having symptoms two weeks later, it is certainly possible that you may have suffered a concussion. You should see your primary care doctor or a neurologist to be evaluated. I would not ignore this. Good luck.

A concussion is a closed head injury causing loss of consciousness, memory loss, or a combination of both. If this did occur, you might have post-concussional symptoms for about 4-6 weeks. A longer duration of "brain fog" might suggest traumatic brain injury. Best to avoid wrestling at this time, and have your symptoms fully evaluated by a neurologist.

You either had a convulsive episode or a simple faint,but not both. If you lost consciousness for a significant period of time with shaking of extremities,bit your tongue,had urinary incontinence and had transient confusion upon regaining consciousness, it was a convulsion and all the more reason to be evaluated by a neurologist. A simple faint could have been brought on by dehydration, though.
