I noticed whenever I am studying or thinking I use my fingertips and tap my temple area to make a drum rhythm. I'm not sure why I do this but the same there any harm or could lead to a concussion doing this since the temple is a weak point?

The temple is actually the strongest part of your skull. In the big scheme of things, finger tapping would not even rate as a force. But, if it concerns you, stop doing it.

How much force with a finger could cause a tbi would it have to be a tough whole punch? I'm currently recovering from a concussion and noticed that I can aggressively tap my temple area when reading or listening to music and never thought about it until the concussion and how my temple area kind of hurts.

Yes, it would take a full fist powerful punch. Your greater risk is getting caught up in anxiety over something like this.

I think there is also a difference between PCS /concussion and a TBI injury...

A concussion is a subset of a TBI but it would still take a strong fist hit to cause a concussion. A simple example would be. If you could pound a nail with your finger tip, that finger could possibly cause a sub-concussive impact. A finger just does not have enough strength or mass to cause such an impact force.

Thanks for the replies I meant getting a concussion from doing this not a serious tbi. Ever since I've had concussions I get very worried on how much of a impact can cause a concussion. Because I know sometimes the slightest bump can cause one. And I always thought the temple was a spot were if you touch or pressed on or in my case tapped it could cause a concussion.

A concussion is one form of Traumatic Brain Injury. Sometimes called TBI, sometimes called mTBI and in some places I've come across in Au it's just called a head injury. Like PCS, the symptoms and severity differ greatly. One does not need to have a penetrating injury to the brain to have TBI. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/t...aininjury.html |
