🧠 How to Recognize the Signs of a Concussion 🧠

Concussions can happen in sports, falls, car accidents, or even everyday activities. Recognizing the signs early is critical to ensure proper care and recovery. Here’s what to watch for:

Physical Symptoms:
Headache or pressure in the head
Nausea or vomiting
Dizziness or balance issues
Sensitivity to light or noise
Blurred or double vision
Cognitive Symptoms:
Confusion or feeling "foggy"
Difficulty concentrating or remembering
Slower reaction times
Emotional Symptoms:
Irritability or mood swings
Feeling more emotional or sad
Anxiety
Sleep Disturbances:
Drowsiness or difficulty staying awake
Trouble falling or staying asleep
What to Do:
If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms after a head injury, stop the activity immediately and seek professional assessment. Early rest and a proper management plan are essential for recovery.

💡 Remember: Even a mild hit to the head can cause a concussion. When in doubt, sit it out!
