A member asked:
Would the shaking of an earthquake worsen a recent concussion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably could: An earthquake is a momentous and significant experience, with substantial risk of additional head trauma but also profound emotional trauma in addition. Your symptoms could be magnified severely. Surprised at your question in view of where you live, as not usually a place for earthquakes, but perhaps you plan a trip. Wish you the best.
