Warning Signs Of Post-Concussion Syndrome

Post-concussion syndrome occurs when an individual has symptoms for a significant period, such as weeks or months, after a concussion-causing injury. A concussion is the mildest form of traumatic brain injury. It might also occur when an individual shakes their head violently. There doesn't appear to be a correlation between the injury's severity and the risk of post-concussion syndrome. This means individuals can still get post-concussion syndrome even if they didn't lose consciousness due to the injury. The symptoms tend to start seven to ten days after the injury, and they subside within three months. There are rare cases where symptoms persist for more than a year.
