Common Symptoms of Concussions and TBI
Concussions and other types of TBI in Rochester, MN are common issues we see in our clinic. They are caused by blows, jolts and bumps to the head that result in damage to the brain. There are different types and severity levels of TBI. A concussion is considered a mild form but it can still have effects that can last for weeks, months and possibly even years after sustaining it. Some of the most common chronic symptoms for all types of TBI include the following:
- Pain: This can occur in the head, neck and shoulders.
- Vision Issues: Brain damage can cause issues with the eyes such as blurriness and double vision.
- Seizures: Some people develop seizures after their brain injury.
- Neurological Issues: Symptoms such as speech problems, muscle weakness and body instability can arise after a brain injury.
- Brain Fog: The ability to think and remember things can be impacted by the injury.
- Mood Changes: After a brain injury, mood issues can occur that weren't there before. This can be due to the brain injury itself and/or feeling bad about having other chronic symptoms from it.
- Balance or Coordination Issues: This can be from dizziness, lightheadedness or vertigo.
- Fatigue: After a brain injury, low energy can be an issue- making it hard to do every day tasks and work.
