Guide To Concussion Symptoms

Nausea And Vomiting

Many concussion symptoms can be responsible for nausea and vomiting in the days following a head injury. Headaches, especially migraines, may be accompanied by nausea. Stomach discomfort and vomiting are also common with balance problems and vertigo.

While nausea and some vomiting are normal symptoms during recovery from a concussion, vomiting immediately after the injury may be a warning sign of additional damage. Some studies point to evidence that patients with episodes of vomiting are more likely to have suffered a skull fracture. While some nausea is likely to occur, repeated vomiting should be checked by a medical professional.
