After experiencing a brain injury or concussion, your symptoms may be subtle and may not be present or noticed at the time of injury. Symptoms may be delayed days or even weeks before they appear.
A person with a brain injury often looks and moves normally, despite not feeling or thinking normally. This is why consulting with a medical practitioner, as soon as possible after a brain injury, and receiving a concussion test is imperative to diagnosing a mTBI as soon as possible.
Some common symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury and concussion are:
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Visual disturbances
- Memory loss
- Poor attention/concentration
- Sleep disturbances
- Dizziness/loss of balance
- Irritability-emotional disturbances
- Feelings of depression
