What is a Concussion?
A concussion is another term for a type of traumatic brain injury. Concussions can range from mild to severe, with symptoms that include headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, mood swings, personality changes, confusion, and clumsiness.
Concussions can affect your sensory perceptions such as sight, taste, hearing, and smell. These issues can be temporary and go away after a few days, last for weeks or months, and in some cases remain a permanent side effect of your injury.
