What is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of brain injury that happens when the head gets a sudden hit, bump, or jolt. This causes the brain to move quickly inside the skull, which can affect how it works for a short time.
Even a mild concussion can lead to symptoms like headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, or trouble focusing. Some people may also feel tired, sensitive to light or noise, or have memory problems.
It’s important to understand that a concussion is not always visible, and symptoms may appear right away or after a few hours. Proper care and rest are essential for safe recovery.
