I received a mild concussion on Friday, i still have a headache, is there anything else i should look out for?


Question:
I took my kids roller skating for their birthday and i fell backwards trying to skate with my 5 year old and hit my head and got a mild concussion, that is what the ER dr. told me. I still have a headache and feel dizzy at times, should i be concerned or is this normal?

Answers:
The dizziness and headaches are normal, a concussion is basically saying that your brain has been "shook" and could be slightly swollen. If you start to throw up, or if your eyes are dialated and stay that way, call the DR RIGHT AWAY!
maybe u can see if ur eye vision is blurred? or u feel faint at times.
