Question:
I think I got a concussion. Is there any danger or will it fade in a few days?
Yesterday I was out on the lake doing water sports, you know, wakeboarding, etc. I was on the inner-tube with my uncle, he weighs like 60 pounds more than me, and we were both thrown from the tube (I don't know how fast we were going... 20-30MPH?) and as we fell his knee or something hit my head and I was knocked out, didn't even feel myself fall in the water, then I heard people on the boat asking if I was okay and I passed out again, then woke up about 10 seconds later.
I felt better soon but that night my head really hurt and I had trouble sleeping, then when I woke up I saw red spots. All of today my head hurt, particularly one part in my forehead and there is a little indention there. My neck hurts really bad, I am dizzy and at times feel like throwing up. I feel very tired but cannot sleep, it feels like someone is pushing on all sides of my head. Also I am having mood troubles, and distractions & noises really bother me.
Its been about 30 hours and only seems to get worse.

And I'm very weak and have trouble balancing, and did I mention I had a fever?
Answers:
Go to the doctor now please, you could have bleeding of the brain. (Don't mean to scare you), you could also have a broken neck (yes even though you are walking around). This isn't something you want to fool around with, please go now. Good luck, take care!
