Some of the most common symptoms of a concussion include:
- Headaches or migraines
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Memory problems
- Problems with balance and coordination
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to light or noise
Concussion symptoms can be immediate or develop over time, making it critical to seek medical attention right away. In some cases, symptoms can linger for far too long, a condition called post-concussion syndrome. There is also the risk of a life-threatening complication called second impact syndrome if you sustain another concussion before the first has healed.
