Concussion is a change in mental status caused by trauma (shock). It is accompanied by confusion, loss of memory, and, sometimes, loss of consciousness.
Symptoms of concussion include:
Headache
Disorientation (confusion) as to time, date, or place
Dizziness
Vacant stare or confused expression
Speech that is difficult to understand
Lack of coordination or weakness
Amnesia (loss of memory) about events just preceding the blow
Nausea or vomiting
Double vision
Ringing in the ears
These symptoms may last from several minutes to several hours. More severe or longer-lasting symptoms may indicate more severe brain injury. If a person loses consciousness, it will be for several minutes at the most. If unconsciousness last for a longer period, a more serious form of brain injury may have occurred.
