Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm so glad to find a support group for this condition.

I have a question. Has anyone else ever had or heard of the possibility of hallucinating and becoming delusional from a bad concussion?

I have had several concussions in life. Last week I was in an accident & hit my head very hard. About an hour later, I began having moments when I was completely confused and thinking I was somewhere else. I was in an ER, but I began having frequent episodes in which I thought I was in the grocery store or at work. The medical staff paid no attention to these odd problems I was having. During one episode, I walked out of the ER and into traffic.

These hallucinations and delusions stopped the next day. But now I am dealing with a severe headache and not feeling right. I am also concerned about the odd episodes I had in the ER, after the wreck. Interestingly, the same exact thing happened to me 5 years ago after my head was hit hard. I do not know why my brain becomes delusional after a head strike.

So has anyone experienced this or heard about the possibility of delusions happening after a blow to the head?

Also does anyone have any recommendations on what may help my searing headache? I have been taking Advil & Tylenol, but they don't work.
It is definitely not an option to go to the ER. They treat you like a drug addict if you go there in pain.

Thank you so much for any feedback.

Best wishes
