A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is generally caused by a sudden blow to the head or a jolt to the body. This can be caused by a wide range of events. In a car accident, an individual can suffer a concussion or TBI when his or her head strikes the steering wheel or dashboard. When playing football or other sports, TBI can occur when a player is struck by the ball, hit by another player or hits the ground with force.Without external evidence of bleeding, bruising or other damage to the head, it can be difficult for a medical professional to diagnose TBI. Some symptoms of a brain injury that you can watch out for include:
- Headaches
- Slurred speech
- Memory loss
- Difficulty performing motor tasks
- Confusion and disorientation
- Sudden changes in mood and personality
- Nausea
- Issues with sleeping too much or too little
If you suspect that you have suffered a brain injury or that your loved one has a brain injury, it is vital that you seek medical attention right away. The sooner you can detect a problem, the more options may be available for treatment of the injury.
