Post-Concussion Syndrome Lawyer
A head injury is a serious matter. Even a mild concussion can lead to ongoing health issues. In this article, we take a look at post-concussion syndrome; what it is, what causes it, and when to call an injury lawyer.
What Is Post-Concussion Syndrome?
A concussion can take some time to heal. When symptoms don’t clear up within the expected recovery time, your doctor might diagnose post-concussion syndrome. Symptoms of post-concussion syndrome are like a concussion. Learn more about post-concussion syndrome on the Mayo Clinic website.
Post-Concussive Symptoms:
- headaches
- dizziness
- lack of energy (fatigue)
- irritability
- loss of sleep (insomnia)
- trouble with concentration
- memory loss
- anxiety
- tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- blurred vision
- sensitivity to noise and light
- loss of taste and/or smell (rare)
What Causes Post-Concussion Syndrome?
A head injury causes damage to the brain. This could be a mild traumatic brain injury, or something more severe. Experts believe any head injury causes structural damage to the brain and related nerves. Even if a head injury doesn’t cause a concussion, it is possible to develop post-concussion symptoms. This can happen days, weeks, or even months later.
Common Causes of Post-Concussion Syndrome:
- car accident
- slip and fall injury
- fall down stairs
