I recieved a headbutt 2 days ago causing a concussion. Imagine an intense sharp pain in your head coupled with a sudden confusion and panic (my brain pretty much went wtf), tinnitus and blurred vision. I also have no memory of what happened for about 5 seconds afterwards.

I've had three concussions in less than two years, the last two being between 6 months. I was out of school for two months. Two of them from football one from a snowboarding accident... Can't play physical sports anymore, may I add im 12!

so if i hit my head then i have trouble vomiting i have a concussion? now sir, why should i trust you?

[MultiSnowman888]

im wondering if i have one. today i was snowboarding and caught a edge at 15 mph and hit my head against the snow (i was wearing a helmet). I remember everything clearly, and havn't expeirienced any symptoms since. The reason im worried is because when I hit the ground i closed my eyes for a millisecond (i did not lose consicenence though), and when i opened them i was seeing stars for about half a second. I probably dont im just wondering.

I hope i dont got a concussion cause at football practice today, i was in a O line/hitting drill, and we were doing multiple hits in a row. When the Big hit came, me and the other guy hit facemask to facemask and then i just dropped and he was on top of me. I had only blacked out for a sec, but it took me a while to get up, and my vision was blurry for jst a sec, and my neck hurt like hell and i had a huge head ache! If any body could provide any insite i would really apreciate it!

had 4 concussions in last 4 years, noticed my memory isnt as good as it was and cant concentrate on things as well as i could. im only 22. look after your heads guys.

[gringobanditos]

what if you were elbowed in the back of the head repeatedly? does that count as second thru like 10th impact syndrome?

I thought I was Travis Pastrana today . and took a nice dive off the dirtbike...I think i got up to quick. cause then i got dizzy and fell down again...Talk about Brain Rattle

I found a website for a study looking into head injuries (like concussions) and sleepiness. You can check it out at HeadSleepStudy . org

I got hit in the head real hard, and passed out for 5 seconds. I forgot about it for a while, now that I remember it, the top part of my head hurts little, am I on the safe side. my doctor says unless I get a real bad headache or migraine I should worry about it.
