The Basics Of Concussion Recovery

By David Lee


Concussions happen all the time in sport or in accidents. Sometimes, this is very serious, and at other times, it lasts no time at all, with the person getting back on their feet again and continuing with what they were dong before. Concussion recovery may be quick, but one has to watch out for a relapse, because this can be dangerous.

Sometimes, people may not even know that they are still having a concussion. It can be very mild. They will be having a headache with some dizziness. Memory is often poor. In some cases, there is vomiting. Many people become depressed, along with other emotions which can be sudden. Balance is initially poor and they are usually tired.

They may go off the field for a few seconds until they are able to see properly. However, although they don't have any blurred vision, there are other things which they may be suffering from. They will not notice this at the time of play because they are focused on the game. However, after the game, these symptoms will take over.

It is dangerous to be suffering from these symptoms which one thinks are basic effects of being hit on the head. They think that they are recovering from this. There are American footballers will get back on the field with these symptoms, which is a concussion and continue playing the game. This is obviously dangerous.

However, the symptoms can be dangerous. When they don't get enough rest after a concussion like this, it can be even more dangerous because they are walking around with a concussion. When an injury like this happens, it means that the brain has come into contact with the skull and this kind of impact causes a lot of problems afterwards. Major headaches can lead to migraines as well.

If these signs persist for more than 10 days, it is important to have it checked out. It can turn into something more serious. Many people have thought that they were fully recovered, but they in fact fall into a state, of what is called TBI. This can be difficult to recover from and this happens to many people.

To make sure that you are on track and recovering from your concussion, it is important that you are following all of the right steps. Besides getting rest and staying away from regular vigorous activities, you also need to make sure that you are in a peaceful environment. This means that you need to stay away from screen time which is going to be overwhelming for you.

It can relate to the laptop, cellphone, TV and the movies. Too many bright lights, loud sounds and noises will also affect the recovery time. Make sure that you are eating the right things and you stay away from alcohol. Replace this with lots of water. This will lead to the healing process. Slowly, you can get back to your activities, but this shouldn't include those which are too vigorous in nature.
