Concussions?!
Question: Concussions!?
I think I had a concussion in January!. I play soccer (goalie) & while practicing I got pounded in the head!. Ever since then I have gotten dizzy & I've been having anxiety attacks!. We asked my doctor about a CT skan & she instead look at the disks behind my eyes & said they were balanced!. I NEVER have anxiety attacks & they are now extremely frequent!. I get dizzy & lightheaded easily!. Advice not criticism, please!. I also have a lump in the back of my neck, but I believe that is due to stress, because it appeared out of nowhere about 3 days ago!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Ask your doctor for a referral to a neurologist!. They may be better able to diagnose you!. There is a condition called post concussion syndrome, which sounds like what you have!. Concussions clear up within a month, so you aren't suffering from a concussion still, but post concussion syndrome can last up to a year!. There are a lot of symptoms including memory impairment, sleep problems, sexual dysfunction, depression/anxiety as well as headaches and dizziness!. You can also try looking PCS up on the Internet to see if this sounds like what you have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist!. As for the lump on the back of your neck, if it's only been there for three days I'd wait and see if it becomes worse or sticks around-- if it does, go see a dermatologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
