For what length of time can the effects of a concussion last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several weeks: The effects of concussion, meaning the symptoms may last for several weeks. Generally, the symptoms (may include but are not limited to: headache, dizziness, slowed mentation, ) abate by about 6 weeks. If they don't go away, you should have your primary care physician check it out.
