Symptoms

The symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury do not always appear right away, and often include cognitive problems that can be easily overlooked. If you hit your head, remain vigilant for symptoms that manifest in the hours and days after the initial impact.

Immediate symptoms can include dizziness, nausea, and disorientation. Later, more long-term symptoms can include headaches, temporary or prolonged lapses in memory, and general difficulty with thinking.

Anyone who notices such symptoms after being hit on the head should see a doctor immediately to prevent more lasting and debilitating complications.
