Recognizing the Signs of a Brain Injury

For many people, the signs associated with a concussion or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be difficult to recognize.  This is due to the fact that after people have incurred brain injuries, they may look fine even though they are acting or feeling differently.

If you or someone you love has suffered blunt force trauma or a head injury, seek immediate medical treatment if:

§  a headache develops that is persistent, does not go away or gets worse

§  slurred speech is exhibited

§  weakness or numbness develops

§  vomiting and nausea is experienced

§  decrease coordination is exhibited

All of the aforementioned symptoms are indicative of a brain injury, which is why emergency medical treatment is necessary.  If left untreated, the brain injury could become worse, new symptoms may develop or existing symptoms may become more problematic.
