Patient's question:
Doctor, my uncle accidentally suffered a concussion a few weeks ago. He just finished surgery not long ago, and I want to ask what are the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome? What should be paid attention to after surgery? What dietary restrictions are needed after surgery? Are there any foods that should be avoided?Doctor's answer:
Post-concussion syndrome is a common sequelae after closed brain injury. The clinical manifestations typically reappear after a period of asymptomatic symptoms following a concussion, followed by severe, throbbing headaches, physical and mental exertion, tension and agitation, worsening after alcohol consumption, and relief after rest and quiet. Additionally, symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, neurasthenia, sensitivity to sound and light, difficulty concentrating, and depression may also reappear. Patients may also experience symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, vivid dreams, impaired memory, and slow thinking.
