I only ever had 2 concussions in my life and both are due to boxing. I have never been knocked out (only dazed/seeing "stars") Both of these concussions happened between a month.
2 days ago I got punched a couple of times (Not hard) And i became to feel dizzy/dazed for a moment. Thats as far as it went and it was over. As i was driving home i felt a numb headache coming on and thankfully it wasnt full blown. I went to sleep thinking everything was going to be alright like the first time.
The following day I didn't feel like myself at all! I had sensitivity to light, my speech was slurred in conversations (sometimes i was repeating what i had just said) My libido and enthusiasm is always on the sky rocket but these past two days i feel depressed, almost like im a whole different person, no personality at all. I also keep forgetting things quick.
Can anyone please help? |
I would go to the doctors soon and describe the feelings you are having. I would also push to get a CT Scan of your head just to make sure there isnt a contusion or some time of bleeding going on. My gut reaction says to go to an emergency room tonight to check it out because slurred speech, memory issues, and other symptoms you describe are pretty serious and shouldnt be ignored. If your CT is negative, then you will know this is your concussive symptoms and may need to see a neurologist. good luck Hoping this resolves quickly for you

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
