Head Bang=Concussion?

You REALLY need to go see a doctor. It is unsafe to go to sleep without talking to a doctor first. Please call a pharmasist or something, or a friend who would know what to do. DEFINITELY tell someone what happened before you go to sleep so if anything is wrong they will know.

Well I've seen a few traumatic aortic ruptures in my life, they are common in high speed side impacts (t-bone). Head on collisions produce traumatic head injuries when you go "up and over" and pelvic fractures in the "down and under." All nasty things to have.

Did you take him to a doctor? He probably had a mild concussion. A person who hit their had shouldn't sleep because they might not wake up. The person needs to be alert so their vital signs can be monitored. I'm not a doctor, but I had a mild concussion from banging my head. Check Web MD online for more info.

Concussions, loss of hearing, shrapnel, bruises and broken bones, burns obviously, caterized wounds, dizzy vision, loss of balance...

A 'CONCOCTION' is prepared by mixing ingredients, as in cooking. It cannot occur in the HUMAN brain [to which, I hope you are referring].\nA 'Brain Concussion', on the other hand, is an injury to the brain, produced by a violent blow and followed by a temporary or prolonged loss of function.\nIt has to be treated and 'cured' by a neurosurgeon - who has specialised in treating such injuries.

possibly.....   it depends on how much your head moved.   if the people there warn you not to move your head, then there must be something wrong with moving your head.\nhopefully the results come back accurately and your concussion isn't too serious.\n\ni had a catscan just a few weeks ago and haven't received the results yet.\ni loved the injection they gave me that made me feel a warm sensation all over, especially in my pants.     hahahhaahaha.

Any time you have a head injury which causes the brain to "slosh" up against the skull, you are "concussing" the brain. A CT may not show anything if it is mild and no bleeding has occurred. The symptoms he is describing would seem to indicate quite a serious injury that would have been picked up on in the Emergency Department

Counld be a head injury that you didn't think was a big deal when it happened.  Here is an exert from the paragraph for you...I hope this info helps. \n\n:-)\n\n"A chronic subdural hematoma is a buildup of blood between the brain and the membrane that covers it, known as the dura. This condition occurs as a result of a head injury and develops slowly over time. The trauma does not have to be serious to produce this condition. \n\n\nWhat is going on in the body? \nA chronic subdural hematoma begins when a vein ruptures. This causes slow bleeding into the space between the dura and the brain. Over time, the hematoma can enlarge. This puts pressure on the brain and produces mild to severe symptoms. \n\n\nWhat are the signs and symptoms of the condition? \nSymptoms of a chronic subdural hematoma can be hard to notice. They may not develop for weeks to months after the first injury. The most common symptoms include: \n• a gradual change in alertness\n• less ability to use advanced thinking skills, such as those used in processing new information, making decisions, and following complex instructions\n• poor attention span\nOther symptoms include: \n• headaches that get worse over time\n• nausea and vomiting\n• seizures\n• unequal pupils of the eyes\n• vision changes such as blurred vision\n• weakness on one side of the body, known as hemiparesis"

I would. It almost sounds like you may have a concussion. At the very least, you caused trauma to a very crucial part of the body and need to have it checked out for brusing, swelling, or hairline fractures.

if you had a concussion you would have passed out and if you jaw hurts go have it looked at by a doctor they will tell if you had a concussion or not and wear the proper head gear for boxers

5 to 10 seconds:\n\nAnatomists and other scientists in several countries have tried to perform more definitive experiments on severed human heads as recently as 1956. Inevitably the evidence is only anecdotal. What appears to be a head responding to the sound of its name, or to the pain of a pinprick, may be only random muscle twitching or automatic reflex action, with no awareness involved. At worst, it seems that the massive drop in cerebral blood pressure would cause a victim to lose consciousness in 5-10 seconds.\n\nAudiences to guillotinings told numerous stories of blinking eyelids, moving eyes, movement of the mouth, even an expression of "unequivocal indignation" on the face of the decapitated Charlotte Corday when her cheek was slapped.

first of all let me say that i'm very sorry to hear about your friend.\n\nmost people with brain stem injuries unfortunately do not survive. this is the "control center" for our brains and is responsible for most everything our bodies do. \n\nmost cases of brain injuries i've seen (i work in trauma icu) don't have promising outcomes. the brain swells, and if there is no skull fracture-the swelling has nowhere to go but down the neck, which involves the brain stem and the brain "suffocates" itself due to the swelling. \n\nmore than likely, a ct scan and mri will be done on your friend to determine the amount of brain activity-if there is none-they will more than likely be declared brain dead and family will be consulted on what decision to make.

Since you were in a car crash and there could be several explanations, you should go to a doctor before you try anything, especially since you could have a concussion.

The concussion.  The bomb was likely an bunker-busting type of ordinance designed to penetrate and destroy a structure.  The concussion would cause your organs (mostly water) to shudder violently and become severely damaged.

It could be several things including concussion, internal injuries, infection.  Get him to doctor/hospital.
