The ten manifestations of concussion are not standardized, and the common clinical manifestations include transient impairment of consciousness, retrograde amnesia, dizziness and headache.
1. Transient impairment of consciousness: including stupor, trance, confusion, etc., which often occurs immediately after trauma and lasts from several minutes to half an hour.
2. Retrograde amnesia: The patient’s early memory is often unaffected, but he/she may forget how he/she was injured, and his/her memory before and after the injury will be disturbed, and the more serious the concussion is, the more serious his/her amnesia will be.
3. Dizziness and headache: Some patients may feel dizzy, have difficulty thinking, feel that their body cannot balance properly, turn their head and the dizziness is more serious, and the symptoms will recur after resting and disappearing.
Some patients will feel headache, manifested as head swelling pain, throbbing pain, often in the back of the occipital area, and some patients feel a sense of tightness in the head.
In addition, patients may experience fatigue, insomnia, tinnitus, palpitations, photophobia, emotional instability, and memory loss.
Post-concussion syndrome suggests timely consultation and treatment as prescribed by the doctor to avoid delays.
