What Is The Link Between Concussions And Nigtmares?
Hi, I ve got a concussion. I was wondering if you could tell me about any links between nightmares and concussions? The nightmares have nothing to do with how I got the concussion. But this is my second concussion in a span of two months and I remember have nightmares after both.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Nightmare is due to unconscious stress. May be due to concussions, you are tense and getting nightmare. In that case, you can use low dose benzodiazepine for few days and try some relaxation exercise that would keep you calm. These drugs are not available over the counter, so better consult a physician or psychiatrist.
Thanks
