A member asked:
I have a slight headache right now so yeah i was in school and some person chucked a football at my head, will it kill my brain cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless you experienced concussion symptoms i would not worry, you have experienced a 'head injury' not a brain injury. Concussion symptoms include loss of consciousness, altered mental status, confusion or brief disorientation and headache.
