Default new here...concussion and headache

Hi everyone,

I am new here. I did a google search to find out more info about concussions and headaches and landed her.

I slipped on ice and hit my head 8 days ago. I was unconcious briefly but pretty much remember everything. I went to the ER and they did a CT and said everything was clear. I did have a concussion and to take it easy for a few days.

I wake up everyday with pressure in my head and a headache. This morning the nausea was bad too. I feel so slow. I am sure it will take time to heal.

One thing bothers me. I will be doing..or trying....to do a task. Like putting on a coat and gloves and it takes me time to figure out that I need to put down the gloves to put on my coat first. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but I find myself staring trying to figure out the order of things. Just simple tasks. But then I can do other things no problem. Is this pretty typical?

It is nice to be able to talk to others and read about others experiences.

Have a nice day...
Beth
