What is concussion?

Concussion is a brain injury caused by a blunt blow to the head or a violent shaking of the head and body. The effects are usually temporary.

Symptoms of concussion

  • Injury to the head

  • Dizziness

  • Headache

  • Losing consciousness

  • My brain is not functioning right now

  • Bruises with swelling on the body, except the forehead

Questions your doctor may ask to check for concussion

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose concussion

  • Did you hit your head?

  • Are you feeling dizzy right now?

  • Do you have headaches or does your head feel heavy?

  • Have you currently regained consciousness after temporarily losing consciousness?

  • Do you have problems focusing or a reduced sense of awareness in your surroundings?

Treatment for concussion

There's no specific cure for concussion. Adequate rest and limiting screen time allows the brain to recover. Medication may be prescribed for headache, nausea, and other symptoms.
