What is a brain injury?
Accidents often cause different types of brain injuries which can be both traumatic and non-traumatic. A brain injury is considered traumatic when it is caused by an external traumatic event. By contrast, a brain injury is considered non-traumatic when it is caused by an internal process such as strokes, infections or disease.
According to medical research, traumatic brain injuries change the activity or structure in one or more parts of the brain often resulting in impaired brain function that may last anywhere from a few days to indefinitely. Researchers have observed that even when injuries do not cause permanent impairment, the patients impacted could still suffer psychological and physiological outcomes that make it difficult to enjoy the pattern of living they enjoyed prior to the injury. When someone suffers a traumatic brain injury, their quality of life may be permanently degraded.
Brain Injury Symptoms to Look For:
Someone suffering from a traumatic brain injury can exhibit symptoms that are physical, mental, or sensory. Some of those symptoms might include:
Nausea or vomiting
Drowsiness or fatigue
Headache
Speech difficulty
Dizziness or challenges with balance
Sensitivity to light or sound
Ringing in the ears
Loss of ability to smell
Blurred vision
Bad taste in the mouth
Difficulty sleeping or excessive sleep
Unusual mood swings.
Lack of concentration or memory
Disorientation and confusion
Due to the seriousness of a traumatic brain injury, it is vitally important to get a thorough medical exam after an accident. However, it is equally important to return for a follow-up as ordered or go to the doctor immediately if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop.
