Anyone else ever get one? I passed out from heat exhaustion and hit my head on a tiled floor, woke up face up staring at the ceiling.
Was taken to the ER and couldn't really walk straight. I was feeling extremely drunk and had blurry vision for what I believe was 2-3 hours before falling asleep (doctor told me it was okay to sleep).
This was 48 hours ago and I'm still feeling a slightly-more-severe-than-mild headache that's omnipresent and a general feeling of "out of it".
Called out of two days but am probably going to go back as I don't know how concussions are typically treated in the workplace. I have seen stories online (or heard anecdotes from friends and family) of people needing over a week to recover, while others say they're fine the next day.
I have been knocked out before after falling down while ice skating and received what was told a "mild" concussion, but that was years ago and this is definitely lingering more than that did.
I'm hoping I'm good to go tomorrow, but it's frustrating when all you can do is pretty much wait and not exert yourself. I also really wanted to get back into the gym early this week, but am unsure of how long to wait before going lifting anything.
Has anyone else had any experiences with concussions? I get everyone's different, but hearing other anecdotes is something that seems to always be helpful.
Go to a Physical Therapy, they will give you some exercises to help you out.
I flew into a snow pile where my sister dug me out. I was unconscious for about 10 hours. I was blinded for 6. Spent a week in the hospital to get various tests done. Had to watch the Bears-Giants 1990 playoff game in the hospital with my dad.
Pain went away in a day but took a week to really clear up. Damm kids..

Played whole game, was woozy with everything trailing me
was literally nearly giggling throughout just dizzy
head a pretty good headache and felt like i was on a lsd trip for a few days
probably had a couple other mild ones (once boxing with someone who was to skilled for me even with headgear
had some stars) lasted the session but after that hell no to hard sparring)
luckily no signs of cte yet!!
Don’t rush it! If you still don’t feel right take the time if you have it rather than doing another face plant and F, yourself up more.
Hope you feel better it suck’s I know.
Must be something in the water there.

I went sleigh riding across the street from my house. Had to be 20-30 kids around same age just having fun and we tried knocking whoever walked up the hill. Well I missed a guy, turned around to laugh, and when I looked straight ahead, I went head first into a telephone pole.

this explains a lot
You should consider a break from BBI.
(The longer, the better.)
It sounds simple and easy but it really does work.
Holy smokes. Check the Guinness Book, you might be in it.
Symptoms from the concussion generally clear up in a week. But then you can develop post concussion syndrome which is a mixture of the physical and psychological. Dr who treated me was very skeptical of PCS but I know I felt stuff not right with my vision, balance and concentration. But in retrospect, some of it was psychological too. When your head gets fucked up, it’s scary
Post concussion syndrome lasted several months for me. This guy I met at the clinic had it for over a year. He rationally knew part of it was psychological but couldn’t shake the symptoms
Good luck. And don’t worry if you are feeling weird. It’s just part of the process and eventually it will go away.
PS: not everyone develops post concussion
Syndrome. Just trying to prepare you if you are still feeling things down the road
Seconded. Take it easy and rest. Get extra sleep.
I presume you signed your daughter up for Muay Thai instruction shortly afterwards? You're sitting on a gold mine there...
Diver- how the hell are you even walking around. OH my god, that is like reading a hospital report for a group of people, not one person.
Just remember, symptoms can return at any time...be very careful
See if she will give you a script of Physical Therapy for it, and to see a neurologist.
I would guess it took about 2 months to really feel normal. Just take it easy.

Been a tough year health wise lol but at least it's all been things that are fixable as opposed to super serious health problems.
I got kneed in the head, crawled off the field and fell asleep laying on the sidelines.
That was the last time I played tackle football.
In HS during football practice is the only other time I can think of that looking back may have been a concussion. I was lined up on the DL during kicking practice, which is crazy considering I was a CB/slot receiver giving away at least 50 lbs. to the OL lined up opposite me, and we are not talking about a very large OL. Well we collided and I remember the sound of the helmets banging and mine twisting to the side. But, I don't recall any symptoms later; just the bell rung feeling for a second or two after.
I took a lot of other shots to the head playing pick-up tackle games, etc. with no noticeable symptoms, but there has to have been an aggregate impact, which could also have been a reason the time in college resulted in a concussion in the first place.
Docs were PISSED at my choice to keep playing after first hit. Told me that the second ones are the dangerous ones - but within one hour...could've been really bad. Light, sound all affected me for 2 months after. Watch mood swings, too, if yours was significant enough. Limit screen time. I know you're feeling better, but your brain may not be there yet.
