Can I lay down after getting a concussion?!
Question: Can I lay down after getting a concussion!?
I had a football game and a kid got a cheap shot on me, he hit me on the temple when I was putting on my helmet during the play, and I was knocked drunk for about 2 hours; I couldn't keep my balance and I was seeing everything blurry The trainer did tests and I did alright, not great but not terrible!. Now, ten hours later I am feeling better, but I can't keep my balance for anything!. I've been sitting down for a couple of hours now watching T!.V!. But now, when I lay down my head starts to ache and I see blurry!. I've had plenty of fluids and solids so that's not the reason!. What should I do!? Can I lay down!? Should I ice it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
The symptoms you are describing indicate that you should seek medical attention!. Normal treatment for a concussion is rest and taking painkillers (not aspirin though) but since you are experiencing blurred vision and problems with your balance there could be something more going on!. Please go get yourself checked out ASAP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
