Default Can hard bodyshots cause concussions?

I was just wondering as I was lying down in bed and my partner accidently slipped and fell backwards. Luckily she landed on the bed but sadly for me, she basically fell straight into me pretty hard.

I had the wind knocked out of me from the impact and was just thankful she landed on the bed/me rather than falling onto the floor or a piece of furniture.

I also heard some cracks/pops (like chiropractor sounds), when it happened so the impact definitely had some weight to it.

However, I have been feeling a bit off since then. I'm trying not to worry and telling myself I'm fine but I've had trouble focussing a bit tonight, some pressure in the head and a bit tired.

I'm trying really hard to convince myself it isn't a concussion as I didn't hit my head but I have heard of bodyshots causing concussions.

This knocked the wind out of me and made a few popping noises so I'm worried that the force has been transmitted to my head.

Hi Dean,
Try to remember that you've felt this way in the past and you actually were fine afterwards and didn't have another concussion.

I recently read an article from the Queensland University Brain Institute. (State in Au where I live). It was about concussions and body hits in Rugby Union. Yes, they can happen and need to be considered but you're not playing Rugby Union.

They stated that it would take a a very large amount of force to create a situation where there was enough acceleration or deceleration of the brain inside the skull to cause a concussion if the head wasn't hit. It's more likely that your chest would have absorbed the force of the energy from what you describe.

Mark in Idaho posted this to you on one of your other threads when you asked a similar question. https://www.neurotalk.org/1300372-post15.html

feel better soon

She did not land on you from a high fall.

Stop worrying about things that could happen.
