3. Brain Fog and Confusion
You might not experience a condition as severe as amnesia or memory loss after your concussion, but you will almost certainly experience some degree of brain fog and confusion after the event. After any event traumatic to the brain, this can be considered to be normal. This can be as slight as some memory loss where you simply forget a word, forget what the time is or keep forgetting where you put your keys; it can also be more severe, and leave someone unable to recall their own name for some time after the event has occurred.
Brain fog is normal, though you should get someone to immediate emergency medical attention if the brain fog does not go away, or if the confusion is particularly severe and bordering on memory loss. If there is any bleeding on the brain, then treatment will be needed as soon as possible to halt the bleeding and aid the patient’s recovery.
