Do Fatigue And Headaches Indicate A Concussion Post A Minor Accident?
Hi, I had a terrible fall on a wet tile floor 2 weeks ago. I fell on a granite counter and landed under a desk- out cold. Fractured ribs, wrist, and elbow on my right side. Have been doing well but can t seem to stay awake and have a mild headache. Is it possible these are symptoms of a concussion?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Usual symptoms of concussion are head ache,confusion,memory loss,nausea-vomiting ,lack of co ordination, dizziness ,excessive fatigue.
You have two of them even after 2 weeks of the incidence.... no other diagnostic symptom is there...so less likely to be brain concussion.. may be mild jurk to brain not enough to cause diagnostic signs of concussion.
Still it's better to get it confirmed from a nurophysician.
Thanks.
