* More about a Concussion

* A concussion is usually a mild traumatic brain injury that is the result of a blunt force trauma. It is important to note that a penetrating trauma can also cause concussions. You get a concussion when you get a hard blow to the head, which is usually hard enough to make your brain bounce inside your skull. The blow can lead to bruising, contusions, and even bleeding. It is important to receive concussion treatment and undergo different tests to confirm you do not have any serious bleeding. You should seek medical attention immediately after sustaining a head injury – you usually recover in a much better way when you receive treatment within the first 24 hours of injury.

* Common Symptoms of Concussions

* Concussions vary greatly in terms of severity of the symptoms, but you are more likely to experience some common signs and symptoms. For instance, many people would develop a serious headache along with a feeling of pressure in the head. Others may lose consciousness temporarily. Confusion, ringing in the ears, brain fog, slurred speech, nausea, and delayed response to stimuli are other common symptoms. It is also possible to experience personality and mood changes along with uncharacteristic clumsiness.
