did i make my concussion worse?!


Question: Did i make my concussion worse?
I have a mild concussion and have been resting for a few days, i get over anxious about brain injuries like concussions and have been very careful not to worsen the situation. earlier today i accidentally bumped my head while getting out my of car, i am extremely nervous/ concerned that i worsened the concussion i already had? anyone with actual knowledge of concussions that can give me any feedback on this?

Answers:

A concussion happens when the brain rocks on the brainstem, and bounces off the inside of the skull. In a mild case, this causes slight bruising and swelling to the brain. A small knock to the head when getting out of the car will not have caused further damage, as it does take a decent whack to the head for the brain to actually move inside the skull, so don't worry about having made it worse. You haven't.

No. If you know the process of an concussion then hitting your head on the car door would not have made your concussion worse.
