i had a concussion, the doctor and us thought it was minor, but then the headaches continued for a whole month at least 😂

My concussion was from me falling off a shelf. Immediately after the fall, my head hurt. 30 minutes later, I had a splitting headache, and it was hard to focus on anything. About an hour after the initial injury, I lost all sight in my right eye. That was when I went to the ER.

How to check for a concussion in someone who's strongly under the influence of alcohol? Like, all of the symptoms also match alcohol intoxication.

So I got a concussion 2 years ago but the way it was handled was probably not right, I worked at a summer camp and I was playing goalie for a soccer match. I dove to make a safe but I dove with only one hand, I made the save but because I didn't have my other arm stretched out I hit my head on the ground. I opened my eyes and I wanted to get up but I couldn't so my friend came over to give me a hand to pull me up but I couldn't really feel my legs or put strength on them so she let my hands go and I went unconscious. The next thing I remember is being helped of the field by two other friends and I turned to my friend and told her I was fine and that I could walk by myself and she pointed out that I was not even walking. So when I looked down I just saw my feet dragging on the floor and it took a few seconds for my brain to register that I could move my legs. I wanted to play a basketball match after but the camp director told me I needed to get cleared by the camp nurse if I wanted to play so I went to the nurse and told her what happened and she just told me to drink more water and that was it. I had a really bad headache for a couple of days.

I got a concussion in a volleyball game we were at away game and were doing our serves and the other team went to serve so I went to leave the court when I did I got hit in the head then when it was are turn so serve on of my teammates hit me with a ball I was fine during the warmups I went to get on the court I didn’t make 5 feet to the court before I fell I didn’t pass out so both of my coaches came over to me I wasn’t on the court yet they helped me up and got me to the bench then a minute or two later I felt numbness in my hands I couldn’t feel my hands one of my good friends who was sitting beside said I kept asking where I was at. One of my coaches was evuwating because he a nurse he told me to squeeze his hands I asked if I was squeezing his hands has soon has I asked that I passed out arrocding to them I stopped breathing and my heart stopped for a second so they preformed cpr on me and I was scared when I woke up in the hospital I didn’t know where I was at

Another piece of advice: do not even think of drinking any alcohol after having the slightest concussion.
