You got me partially wrong. Actually I do not have any problems regarding vision. It is absolutely fine.

My problem is that I am feeling CONFUSED, my reaction rates are very slow for atleast two days after some pressure is applied on back of my head. I can feel My thinking process becoming very very slow. Even to talk to a receptionist I need to think a lot to get my words. Hope u got my point. After that it becomes normal for few days until I do excersize or something like that.

After the incident, two stitches were made and Docter prescribed few tablets and NO scans were done. I thought it will be normal in few weeks. But problem persisted till now.

I met a neurologist last year, he did CT scan and told there are no clots and problem might be due to nerves in the scalp. He prescribed Aceclofenac Sustained Release tablets. I used them for a month or so and I started to feel better.

Now its not as worse as it was 3 years back. I am getting them less frequently but problem is still there.

Is there any specific treatment for problem I am facing?? and medicines which would help me??


I will meet a physician this week. But any of your advices are highly appreciable.

THANKS again.
I understood you didnt mention vision problems, just didnt do a good enough job explaining correlation and where i was going with it. However, the reaction time is based of subconscious peripheral visual cues. Also, even though you do not notice any visual issues, the confusion can be caused by it. As far as treatments, it would depend what the physician says and the severity of the underlying problem. If it is related to inter-cranial pressure, an (200-400mg) ibuprofen an hour before running might help. Of course, the doctor will be able to tell you more accurately, as he has completed medical school I am only premedical, and can advise further scans(again request on for comparison to a normal/ or previous scan).

Do you suffer times at the end of the sentence where you forget what word you are saying or say the end of the sentence you are thinking of next? This happens to me a lot, just curious if others are having it too.

Just to reiterate, even though you dont notice anything wrong with eye sight, there could be a misfire in the interpretation or other functions of the visual cortex and occipital lobe
