How long do i have to stay calm after having a concussion to avoid further damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest after tbi: After concussion you should rest, avoid strenuous activity and activities, that caused your concussion until your symptoms of concussion have been resolved for at least 1 week. Avoiding activities that might result in another concussion is important to avoid the 'second impact' injury, which can be life threatening.
