Hii, I'm 20 years old. Whenever i eat something, most of the time my right side of the brain above ears make some kind of sound that really pains and irritate me and i feel like my head bone is hitting each other.

I hit my head on a rock yesterday and I couldn’t sleep my head is killing me I vomited this morning I just feel really s**t

In 1962 I was in a head on collision accident. Seat belts were not used then. I had injuries to my knees, a broken arm and much glass in my forehead. I believe that my head hit the steering wheel. For a while I saw two blue birds going around in a circle.
Could this have been the result of a concussion?

I hit my head in gym and now I am tired but when I try to lay my head down I cannot go to sleep and I really cannot think right I don't think but I know the date I know how old I am , I know those basics but when I have to think when I'm answering questions and stuff like that it kinda is hard Should I go get my head checked out

Fell last night and didn’t catch myself with hands because they hurt from arthritis. Fell really hard and landed on my knee that was broken about 10 years ago. I immediately got a pounding headache and just want to sleep could I possibly have a concussion

I am 66 years old and slipped in my porcelain over cast iron tub 3 weeks ago. The bleeding was horrendous and the large bump on the back of my head is increasingly painful. Is it possible to have a clot here that could cause brain injury? This much later?
Thanks. Vicki

I recently was in a accident and my head cracked the windshield it required 17 staples and stitches needless to say I have a concussion I notice from time to time my vision goes blurry and when it comes back color is not there until the next spell I also am angry all the time and I have the shakes is this normal

It was helpful that you mentioned in your article how it is important to remember that symptoms of concussions point to getting lost or easily confused alongside feeling tired all of the time. My spouse and I noticed that our son got quite hurt during his last football game and does not seem himself. I'll be sure to get into contact with a medical specialist to see how they could be of assistance.

is it possible that having several concussions from an early age, can it affect learning difficulties. I have to do things over and over again to understand them. Some lettering also confuses me. I have a petty good IQ, but feel like a fool a lot of the time.

Hey my mom doesn’t think I have a concussion (code for doesn’t want to take me to the doctor) but I’m showing a bunch of symptoms. The way I got hurt is...embarrassing. I was trying to show my friends that splitting a pole ISNT bad luck and I ran into a road sign like really hard because I was watching my feet (a bad habit I know) anyways ever since I’ve had a pounding headache, nausea, dizziness, added sensitivity to light and sound, and I’ve been extremely tired but can’t seem to sleep. It’s been past 24 hours and my headache should be gone by now so I really think I have a concussion. Should I push her to take me to the doctor or let it go?

I hit my head with a metal pipe that my husband and I use to loosen nuts on machinery. I was holding it above my head and pulling down in it with all my weight, it slipped in the nut and straight into my head. I fell to the ground and couldn’t move for a minute. I feel a pressure on my head, as I have a lump the size of half a hard boiled egg it feels like all my hair is being pulled tightly up and my mouth is really dry. I break out in sweats and am not responding immediately to things, I feel delayed. Er is a nightmare where we are should I call in a house doctor?

I got hit in the head with a hard pillow and I’ve lost my appetite I’ve taken Advil (didn’t help) and I don’t feel normal. What do I do?

So I got hit in the head playing football and I have a head ache and I’m sensitive to light I also feel like imma puke. Should I see and doctor or just keep going about my week?

In case this is helpful for anyone, I got a concussion a couple years ago from falling while running. Didn't hit my head, but kind of whiplashed it. The first symptom I noticed, the next morning, was severe hunger. I had unquenchable constant hunger pains for 2 solid days, no matter how much food I ate. The third day I drove across town and realized that, for sure, something was wrong with my head. Can't exactly describe what happened but being in a moving vehicle really messed with my head. At that point I knew I had a head injury. It didn't occur to me to go to the ER because it wasn't an emergency, and as long as I wasn't driving, I was quite functional. It took me three weeks to figure out what kind of doctor to see. I called my family doctor and the nurse told me I couldn't have a concussion since I didn't hit my head. Wrong. I think I called neurology and they couldn't help me. Finally a friend told me that sports medicine orthopedic offices often treat concussions. Sure enough, my orthopedic surgeon has a concussion clinic in his office. I had to fill out a survey for them to qualify to be seen -- checking if I had the symptoms of a concussion. The doctor said symptoms could last up to 6 months, and they did. I was just a little bit wonky in the head and if I was thinking hard, I would get a head ache. (Not great for a math teacher, but I survived.) And at exactly 6 months the symptoms went away.

I had a concussion about two months ago and I have had digestive problems ever since. I don't know if this is from the injury or from taking Tylenol around the clock (no opioids for weeks). I'm hoping you'll say this will go away soon after I've recovered. Thanks!
