Having a concussion can be very serious. Of course, in some cases it is very minor and one just needs to take some time out, making sure that they rest before getting back to more vigorous activities. However, concussion recovery can depend on the severity of the injury or the accident that took place as well as how well the person has coped with this.

There are a lot of people who don't realize that they are in this state. They simply have a lot of symptoms from being hit on the head. An example of this is with American football which is very common because it is a full contact sport. It makes sense that players will have concussions because they run into one another at full speed.

Many people are under the impression that when you have a concussion, you lose consciousness. However, this is not true. For example, there are many American footballers every season who will just suffer from many of these symptoms. They take time out and then get back on the field.

They may not notice this and be thinking that it was due to the concussion. After all, they suffer from injuries all the time. Things like dizziness, depression and anxiety, loss of balance, fatigue and nausea may set in. The player doesn't have the time to look into these problems. They have to be back on the field. They are usually under pressure.

It can lead to traumatic brain damage, which is incredibly dangerous and it can leave the person with long lasting brain damage. A person like this will be affected with memory loss and mental illness. They won't be able to perform as they were able to. Physically, they may struggle. Of course, this will vary from one person to the next.

If these signs persist for more than 10 days, it is important to have it checked out. It can turn into something more serious. Many people have thought that they were fully recovered, but they in fact fall into a state, of what is called TBI. This can be difficult to recover from and this happens to many people.

To make sure that you are on track and recovering from your concussion, it is important that you are following all of the right steps. Besides getting rest and staying away from regular vigorous activities, you also need to make sure that you are in a peaceful environment. This means that you need to stay away from screen time which is going to be overwhelming for you.

It is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, eating and drinking the right things. You need to be in a stress free environment which is tranquil and peaceful. Some people may remember the trauma of the accident and so it is essential that they are in an environment where they are not likely to be exposed to flashbacks which is going to cause them to be emotional. This is something to keep at the back of your mind.
