What is a Concussion?

A concussion is more than a mere bump on the head. It is caused by a sudden blow to the head, jolt or impact to the head or body, causing a mild traumatic brain injury. The force makes your brain move rapidly inside your skull, resulting in disruption to your normal brain function. The symptoms you should look out for after a head injury are:

  • A feeling of pressure in the head or headache.
  • Dizziness and imbalance.
  • Feeling confused or having memory dysfunction.
  • Sensitivity to light or noise.

Having a concussion can feel unsettling, but with the right treatment, you can safely recover and return to your normal activities.

Understanding Dizziness and Its Impact

Dizziness is a common aftereffect of a concussion. However, it can be very frustrating and appear as lightheadedness, loss of balance or vertigo (spinning sensation). If you have persistent dizziness, it makes you uncomfortable and unable to carry on daily tasks with ease. It also increases the risk of falls and delays you from returning to work, school or sport.

Common Causes Of Concussion And Dizziness

While concussion and dizziness can be the result of many different situations, some of their common causes are:

  • Road traffic accidents.
  • Falls or slips, especially in older people.
  • Injuries from sports or collisions.
  • Injuries due to sudden acceleration or deceleration.

Along with physical symptoms, a concussion also causes emotional changes, retarding cognitive abilities and chronic dizziness. If these issues are left untreated, they may result in restricted independence and low confidence.
