A traumatic brain injury can range in severity, from a minor concussion to extensive brain damage. The following are some of the symptoms to watch out for that could indicate the existence of a traumatic brain injury:
- Persistent headache
- Neck pain
- Vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Confusion
- Low energy
- Fatigue
- Changes in mood
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Ringing in the ears
- Changes in sleep patterns
Some people make the mistake of believing that if they feel fine right after an accident, they have not suffered any major injuries. This mistake can be deadly. The symptoms of a serious head injury can take hours, even days to surface. People who have sustained a traumatic brain injury have been known to appear and behave normal following a major accident, only to find out later that they have a serious injury. It is therefore imperative to seek medical attention immediately following an accident with head involvement, especially if there was a lost of consciousness.
A doctor will use various exams and imaging tests to identify whether or not a brain injury has been sustained and the extent of the damage. In serious cases, surgery will be required.
