Do I have a concussion, or just really bad headache?!


Question: Do I have a concussion, or just really bad headache!?
So 5 days ago I went to a football contact camp, on the second day half way through our 7 hour practice, my coach had me go get checked out by the trainer because i was shaking and really dizzy, she said I should be ok, so I went back to practicing, by the end of the practice I could barely stand due to the pain in my head, my eyes were watering and my ears were ringing very bad, I watched a movie with the team that night took a 5 min nap and when I woke up I forgot half the movie, It has been 5 days since the incident and I am still experiencing migraines and pain pills are little to no help, should I just wait it our or see a doctor!?
What exactly is wrong with me!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
what you didn't indicate was whether or not you had been struck on the head!? Your initial symptoms sound more like heat exhaustion but that does not last 5 days, is fixed by rehydration and rest!. Your other symptoms sound like a concussion but what concerns me is why you have not consulted with your physician!. If you don't have one and emergency department or urgent care center would be the choice!. I would NOT return to any contact sports until you have seen a physician and are cleared to do so and in no event sooner than 1 week after all symptoms are gone!.
Don't get your health care on the internet, get it from a health care provider!. Use the internet as a resource only!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com

You should go see a doctor!.
If you didn`t get hit in the head, it is not a concussion!.
If you did, then it could be something else!.
Five days is too long to not be seen by a doctor!.
The trainer should be sued!. She is not a doctor and
should not tell you you should be ok!. She should know
better and should have made you see a doctor!. What kind
of football camp did you attend!? They should have a doctor
available for any injuries if you had to pay to go to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Check out your B!.P!. blood pressure, also, make sure you are well hydrated, in this heat you don't want to end up just another statistic, from over exertion and or heat exhaustion!. See the doctor, still, also you may want to call and tell them about your headaches!. It maybe more than one thing, some signs and symptoms sound multi, and I would say you need to see the doctor like yesterday!? In other words call and say you need immediate attention!.

You never said where you got hit, so I can;t tell if you have a concussion or not!. But either way, you should have definitely gone to see a doctor the day it happened, because it sounds like you in a dangerous position!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you were hit in the head, than it could by all possibilities be a concussion, if not, it's definitely dehydration at best!. Go to the ER to be sure, whomever told you you were ok, was wrong!. You should sue the people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
