Do I have a concussion thread

[brtspears2]

After reading every major website on brain injuries, the only thing I have currently is just the strange dizzyness when I move my head left/right. The room sorta takes its own axis of rotation. I just pulled out my diffs calc book and did a few problems, got the right answers, so I know that I probally didnt break my brain.

But its only been around 7 hours since I fell. Heck, I was able to drive back in dense fog and snow without a problem.

Update: Went to doctors office, now gotta goto a specialist. Doctor thinks that I might have also slipped a few discs in my upper neck, causing whiplash. Oh the pain now after sleeping, thank you ultra pain killer prescription ...

Let us know how the Cat Scan turns out, usually takes a couple of days for the radiologist to get to them...

Your Doc should be able to see any gross abnormalities right away though.

Sorry about the crash BTW...

Well, the pain has stopped now. It feels great, but I still have the annoying case of dizzyness for about 30 seconds after laying down then getting back up. Looks like something I need to follow up on. No big problems on the scan, no damage to my brain, no bleeding.

I'm totally not buying the doctors "you are dizzy because you are dehydrated" bid. I drank a gallon of water a day....and still getting dizzy. Gotta follow up on this in a few days.
