Concussions

A tell tale sign of a concussion is loss of consciousness immediately following a blow to the head. Upon regaining consciousness other symptoms may appear such as confusion, headache, nausea, vomiting as well as blurred vision. More severe concussions may result in loss of short term memory, particularly pertaining to the accident itself. You may also exhibit a condition known as perseverating which is repeating the same thing time and time again despite being given the answer. A common example of this may be asking “Was I in an accident?” numerous times and being told yes each time.
