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.
