How to recognize the symptoms of a con-
cussion.
In the past few years, the public awareness
of concussions and the danger of concussions
have increased. There have been many news
stories concerning the rate of concussions and
the long term consequences.With the revela-
tion that multiple small concussions may lead
to a higher risk of brain injury, it is become
imperative to try and figure out how many
concussions are too much and how to proper-
ly treat them once they occur.
A concussion is defined as a traumatically
induced disturbance of brain function and
involves a complex process. Direct impact to
the head is not required for a concussion and
any trauma from a blow to the body or a fall
to the ground can be sufficient. It is a clinical
diagnosis best made by a healthcare profes-
sional. Concussions can happen with any trau-
ma, but the most common causes are motor
vehicle accidents and contact sports.
Symptoms of a
concussion include
headache, dizzi-
ness, vision
change, fatigue,
and concentration
issues. Once a con-
cussion occurs it is
important to allow
the person to rest
and let the brain
recover from trau-
ma. Around 80-
90% of people with concussions will recover
within a week, however, some people with
develop chronic symptoms that can last
weeks to months.
It is known that once a person has had one
concussion, that it takes decreasing force to
cause further concussions. Subsequent con-
cussions can take longer to recover from than
the initial concussion.What we don’t know, is
how many concussions are too many or what
types of concussions are worse than others.
Most concussions occur during contact
sports. It is estimated that approximately 3.8
million concussions occur per year. There has
been a recent push to educate both athletes
and coaches on the dangers and what to look
for after head contact.Washington and
Oregon have laws prohibiting athletes from
returning to sports after concussions until
they have been evaluated and cleared by
medical professionals. If there is any question
that a concussion may have occurred, then an
appropriate medical evaluation should take
place.
