Back to School Concussion Information
After school begins, we frequently get a question similar to this one... My son got hit so hard in his football game that it knocked off his helmet and he said everything was all wavy when he tried to get up. He kept playing and didn't say anything to the coaches. Could he have a problem? A concussion results from a significant blow to the head either from falling or a collision. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. They can include: - Headache
- Drowsiness, hard to wake
- Loss of consciousness
- Memory loss of events around the injury
