Patient's question:
A friend of mine has been complaining of headaches recently and sometimes having seizures. They don't want to go to the hospital for a check-up. What are the symptoms of a concussion?Doctor's answer:
Concussion is the mildest form of brain injury, where the injured person may immediately lose consciousness or become disoriented, often accompanied by pale complexion, sweating, blood pressure drop, and slow heart rate. This condition typically lasts for several seconds, minutes, or tens of minutes, usually not exceeding half an hour, after which the patient regains consciousness. After full recovery of consciousness, the person cannot recall the events at the time of the injury or the period shortly before it, but can still remember past events. It is recommended that if you are not confident, it is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination, improve the head CT and MRI examination, and rule out brain injury.
