This recent Saturday, exactly a week back I suffered a concussion whilst swimming with my friends when my friend dived into the pool to have his back hit the very top of my head.
I did not lose consciousness but I was extremely tired and dizzy for the remainder of the day. I remember the whole incident as well.
Throughout this whole week I feel as though my cognitive ability has been really bringing me down and it hasn't been ups and downs its just a constant haze in my brain. It feels as if my memory since the incident has been at a very minimum also. The first few days since the incident felt alright but from a couple days ago it has taken a toll on me and I have gotten anxious since I cannot perform to the best of my ability. I have not suffered from any headaches or nausea which is really worrying me in case this is just permanent brain damage.
My family is not in the best of financial positions so I am trying to avoid going to the hospital if possible. Do you guys have any advice?
