Aa
ladies please help (not pregnancy related) but please help!!
Does anyone know anything about concussions?! My boyfriend hit his head twice today at work and it was pretty hard I guess, he works as a construction worker and works with heavy wood so please if anyone could tell me the symptoms of a severe concussion and when to go in?!
I actually have had a few. I'm still suffering from one going on 4 months now. I had a metal iron shelf fall on my head at work 4 months ago, got a concussion and ended up with post traumatic concussion syndrome. He needs to go to the doctor!!!!! He needs to have a CT or MRI to check for headbleeding then he needs to see a neurologist and let them run test!!!!! It's so important. They told me if I hit my head again I'll have permanent damage.
Last winter I got a concussion. I called healthlink (in Canada it's a number you can call and talk to a doctor about health concerns) they told me to go in immediately if I felt sleepy, or I noticed bloodshot eyes or blood in my ears. If it's just the headache and you're pretty sure it's a concussion, I was told to go get it looked at within 5 hours of the injury because you could have bleeding. And until then he shouldn't sleep
Vomiting/nausea, light sensitivity, sensitivity to noise, confusion/altered mental state, headache, fatigue.... All are concussion symptoms. If he was hit twice he needs to see a Dr.
This night not be the best forum to post in if you really want help. But I can try.
