Concussion?!


Question: At school today I am a trainer and I was riding in the back of a golf cart and ours is a flat surface and when my friend was taking a turn in the parking lot and I slid off and landed on the back of my head.

Luckily an adult was there and helped me up but i felt really dizzy.

Than a few minutes later our head trainer came and helped me back in the training room and put ice on the spot and i have a bruise and scraped it pretty bad.

Its been around 3 hours after the accident and I still have a bad headache and im dizzy and feel like throwing up.

I took some Tylenol and it isnt working.

Yeah sounds like you have one.

Headache is the most common MTBI symptom.[16] Other symptoms include dizziness, vomiting, nausea, lack of motor coordination, difficulty balancing,[16] or other problems with movement or sensation. Visual symptoms include light sensitivity,[37] seeing bright lights,[40] blurred vision,[9] and double vision.[41] Tinnitus, or a ringing in the ears, is also commonly reported.[9] In one in about seventy concussions, concussive convulsions occur, but these are not actual post-traumatic epilepsy, which is a symptom of more serious injury.[42] Concussive convulsions are thought to result from temporary loss of brain function rather than from structural damage and are usually associated with a good outcome.[43]

sounds like a concussion, get to the er for a xray to rule out bleeding and get a dr to exam. now
