This was a useful video! I hit my head really hard on the handle of my freezer door while taking something out of my fridge about a week ago and immediately felt dizzy, and my head felt worse and weirder each day that passed afterward, so I saw my doctor 3 days after the incident, and he immediately dismissed my concerns and insisted I didn't have a concussion without even doing any tests. He said, condescendingly, "there's a pain scale, it goes from 1 to 10, and you definitely don't have a concussion unless your headache is at least an 8 or 9 on the pain scale." Even after I told him about the pressure in my head, nausea, and vision changes, he insisted I didn't have a concussion. I got a second opinion from another doctor the day after who listened as I explained my symptoms, asked clarifying questions, and did a thorough test, and she told me I do indeed have a concussion. Every day I feel worse and worse though, ugh, when does it get better...
Very good man and doctor , I totally respect you
The times in my life I have had a concussion I needed to take a week or two and just relax and rest and let my brain relax. Let the world slow down a bit and then I felt back to normal.
Is their aan electronic device utilized reestablishing bance?
What is the white flash you get when you are hit in the face? Like the flash the very moment of the hit. Is this concussion if there are none of the listed symptoms here?
Thank you for the list. I have the majority of the symptoms. I can't get a hold of myself is making me feel crazy. I also have speech aphasia pretty bad. I'm really scared. Your videos are helping me
understand.
How are you doing now man? I’ve been dealing with PCS for a few months now and starting to get pretty nervous of long term effects
Thank you so much.
For understanding this cluster of symptoms AND sharing how to heal. You give me hope.
I will be following you and your recommendations- as best as I can. I would benefit from in patient or "in-clinic" care. I live alone in rural area. This is so challenging to deal with on my own. 64 yo, but I have a lot to do still. Meanwhile time passes and I exist. Barely.
Thanks for the help!
You'd probably be a great candidate for our online program as it teaches you how to recover on your own - no travel, no clinics, etc. We basically teach you things that you can do to fix your physiology and recover - check out the Concussion Fix - concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/
@@CompleteConcussions .wouldnt it be great if computer screens didnt make me ill!🤢
I have not been able to tolerate Zoom anything, I very rarely use computer for anything. No email.
Too much junk I have to discard. Too much words to process.🤕
I am PhiBeta Kappa member btw.
When I hear
" Why dont you just....?" I feel more hopeless, misunderstood and alone.
It is gross and astounding that even professionals dealing with TBI seem to be blind and dumb to BASIC known challenges of TBI.
If I didnt have a TBI, I would sign up for your online course!
Is it spoken? Or do I have to read a lot?
🤮
I can short, simple, spoken videos. Not rapid fire speaking, backgound music or noise (seriously!).
Those are the things that let me know this person or program is BS. Plenty of $ in brain injury "treatment". My science background sez: show me peer reviewed studies. Show me your licences to practice psychotherspy. Chiropractic. Medicine. I do not think thst is asking too much.
(Its not the $300. Its the computer screen. Sadly I dont see. Any content that looks like news to me. But hopefully you are helping people. And improving what you do.)
Please.
And thank you..
@@amandalynngibson8332 We have close to 600 members in the program right now and have had more than 2000 come through and reach full recovery. MOST come in with screen sensitivities. You close your eyes and just listen for the first few modules. But once you start implementing the strategies, this starts to go away. Plus as you learn that screens are not harmful to recovery and the way to increase tolerance to screens is to actually look at them and gradually increase tolerance, you take a different view of it. You want peer-reviewed studies? This program is based on over 2000. In my next video i'll show everyone my medical license, ok?
@@CompleteConcussions Thank you such for your thoughtful I formative reply. I appreciate everything you wrote.
It's been.over 3 years since injury, and yes the irritability and ugliness associated with TBI overwhelms my usual niceness.
I am excited to try your recovery program.as soon as I can. Thank you again. I am honored.
Loving the concussion content! I relied on your videos when I had my first concussion two years ago. My question to you Dr. Cam is, if you were to sustain a concussion injury, would you also have whiplash injuries alongside the concussion due to the force needed for concussion? Would it be less likely to have a concussion if the blow to the head didn’t cause a whiplash injury? Thank you for the work that you do and answering us viewer’s questions when you can!
Every concussion comes with a whiplash - there is no way to avoid it based on the forces. Concussion = 70+ G's of acceleration...whiplash only takes 4.5G. So if you get a concussion (70Gs), it would be impossible that your neck not get much more than 4.5.
Very interesting... I'm finding that this isn't a one size fits all injury. I'm currently recovering from one...I didn't have a whiplash...I hit my head as I stood up. 🤷🏾♀️
hey man love what you're doing. I took an elbow at wrestling practice yesterday, and I feel kind of buzzed today. This happens sometimes and generally goes away after a day or two. Is this causing lasting damage or is it just like a bruise? Thanks so much!
If you have symptoms you have to suspect concussion. Then if this is happening repeatedly, then you need to start being concerned about long-term effects.
@@CompleteConcussions even the syptoms at minor bumps ?
@@thefuturehthat's what I've experienced.
Hi doctor, will shedding the upper skull will cause damage in brain?
Great videos, thanks you so much! It really helps to understand my own situation better and get peace with it as it seemed that my doctor wanted to diagnose it as a burnout while I am strongly doubting this and your videos give me proof to myself that I most likely have PCS.
I do have a question which I hope you could clarify for me: Is it possible to develop stronger pcs/concussion symptoms after a few months of the accident?
I got a ball on the side of my head during football a half year ago and was not able to work for 4 weeks wherafter I started again but looking back on it I never really felt back as normal (always kept a click/pressure around my ears and was not able to work on the same level). A month ago I was suddenly not able to work anymore and all my concussion symptoms came back stronger this time. This time everything which requires concentrating creates a heavier pressure and click in my ears and head whereas I can only stay at home.
My Docter says that he doesn't want to speak of a concussion as I didn't blackout or as I didn't faint after the accident... although I did get for a sec dizzy and was tired the days after (+ couldn't watch a screen anymore and stopped listening to music).
Doctor is wrong for sure! You don't need to lose consciousness for a concussion. And yes, symptoms of PCS can increase later on if not addressed. And they will also not get better unless addressed. They only way is to do the work - check out concussion fix program to fix the issues! concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/
@@CompleteConcussions Thank you so much for answering and confirming my thoughts! Just started the kickstarter program and considering the full program. Have a great Christmas.
@@rooswijker7064 Awesome!
Good good 👍
I bent at the waist with my head at waist level for 20 seconds. When I stood up it immediately felt like I got hit in the head with a brick. I hour of occipital head pain and dizzy. Extreme instability walking for 3 weeks solid. 5 months later still not 100%. Neck or head injury. What do you think?
You definitely can't injure your head that way as there is no acceleration/deceleration force...so my bet is neck or vestibular
Thanks for the reply.@@CompleteConcussions
What about the abbott blood test for concussion ?
this is not a test for concussion but it's a test for brain bleeds
Hey Dr, I have a question. Do you have experience with hypochondriacs who thought they had a concussion? How are you able to tell apart a real concussion with the body "creating" symptoms? Thank you!
Yes...this is very common. It is also difficult to separate the symptoms because they can be identical.
Am also wondering about this. I have had 4 concussions within the past 6 months and now every little bump freaks me out! Just today, I was sitting up in bed and nodded off and accidentally hit my head off my wall. I was nodding in and out of sleep and my head fell back into the wall. I think I’m okay but I’m just really worried about it. My head was at most 5-6 inches from the wall and the impact did not hurt, I’m just concerned about it happening agaib
@@johnwilliams7835I’ve been having the same issue I’m terrified of having another concussion so even the smallest bump might send me into a spiral
@@johnwilliams7835have you been getting any better over time?
Inova sports medicine and concussion clinic Fairfax VA won't treat me because I have light sensitive that blurs my vision and headache. When they are gone I can be treated. This is the official sports medicine docs of all major professional league sports teams in Washington DC. The foot ball baseball basketball etc. I was told in the 20 plus years of their clinic that none ever had headache and vision light sensitivity. Yes it's true.
Been waiting over a month for neurology at UVA Charlottesville to get back to me. After more than a dozen attempts. Two medical referrals by two docs were sent over six weeks ago.
Now in month four and post concussive stage. Some symptoms are just getting worse.
Most concussion patients do...so they must not know much about concussion...
Indeed. That's why I mentioned the exact clinic name here, so other Patients who see this and are considering this clinic will have an idea what they might be getting into.
Guys how do i know if is only conccusion or hemorrhage??
Is fasting a good idea to help treat a concussion?
Sir I can’t afford concussion fix programme please help me i am a student in its peak career please help sir please
I fell on my head. I ran into the bathroom and I could still see but did not check each eye separately. Much later I learned that I could see 70% or more with one eye that I could see with two eyes so seeing just with one eye would not necessarily reveal that one eye was not functional.
I did not realize that I had a vision problem until about six months after my fall when I did test my injured eye separately and could hardly see anything out of it because I had a detached retina in that eye, which probably occurred at the time of my fall. I never had a headache after the fall (though now I do, five years later. Is very bad vision because of a detached retina a "concussion like symptom." I think not because my fall likely caused the bad vision from the detached retina condition immediately after my fall. but wanted to see what you think. Thanks.

my son was hit 3ft from the boards yesterday, and his body took most of the impact, but obviously his head hit from the impact. No loss of consciousness, trainer did tests like remember 3 words, name, address, count backwards, light, etc. Went to ER after just incase, nothing found. Went to physio that deals with concussion, and said he might have a minor very mild one. We did the 22 point symptom chart, and the only ones he put as 1-2 were headache and dizziness as well as tiredness. A few hours later his headaches disappeared and his dizziness, but now certain sounds irritate him. tmw will be 48hrs, we were told to just go about his day with not too much physical activity. We are going to start him stretching and some stick handling and shooting on Wednesday. Is it too soon for him to play this weekend if he has no symptoms for 48 hrs?
If it was a concussion, which sounds completely possible, you should be out for at least 3 weeks. This video will help to explain why this is. I would encourage you to watch this one: ruclips.net/video/RfhJdATqDLY/видео.html
Hey doc. Thanks for sharing. Could a chiropractor with a cervical traction create a concussion? Could even a blair technique specialist (atlas adjustment) create a concussion with very subtle adjustments? Or could whiplash/neck issues mimics them?
no - it's more likely concussion-like symptoms (which are actually due to neck dysfunction/injury).
Could a concussion affect hearing such as hypercusis ?
yes it can!
Hi what about small amounts of clear fluid from nose and feeling like what to blow nose ?
I got hit on the chin with a basketball twice within the span of five minutes, I had no immediate symptoms for the next few hours however I'm always paranoid of my health and started overthinking like crazy, was anxious and got a headache for a few days.It's been 3 months but till this day I don't know if the headache was caused by the concussion or by the stress
Best foods?
Iv had a concussion for nearly 3 years now after a blow to my head everyday I wake up & it’s like iv had 10 pints of beers iv got 3 young kids & it’s really effecting this coz the iv have little patience & loads screams hurt my head,iv tried things but nothing works please could I get some professional advice???
Concussion Fix program! It's quite effective for PCS like yours: concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/
Rob Shaw- My experience is similar! 3 years ago; a small dead pine tree fell on my head. Thankfully I was braced and didn't get knocked down, but my life got changed in that moment! I can't work, am exhausted, nauseous & dizzy, brain fog, sensitivity in ALL 5 senses. I feel for your circumstances. My kids are grown- I have 3 grandchdren. But we've become estranged bc of my TBI.
Invisible disability AND no clear help or treatment! In our most important body part.
I wish you healing. Incremental. Until you have recovered completely.
I believe in miracles!
Hm I fell in my bathtub the other day was a pretty bad slip but most of it hit the back of my neck like the very part right before your skull and i'm having very very minor headache pain for a few seconds to a minute at a time every couple hours or when i'm stressed mostly in the right or left side on the sides of my head sometimes top even immediately after the headache pain was very minor mostly just neck pain should I be worried?
You earned my respect and got one more subscriber
How much you charge to evaluate if I have concussion!We have a car accident in July 11 2022 rear end and immediately I have a headache,pressure in the head,after a week have been having diff.symptoms, dizziness headache,nauseated,fatigue ,unable able to concentrate,scared,shaking,difficulty concentrating,loss of memory,fatigue,anxiety!
I dont have one right at the moment.
I was shopping in a hardware store been done placed items in my cart and when I came up I banged my head on steel garden stakes that were extending beyond the asle.
It hurt so bad and I got really confused. The clerk didn’t follow protocol and get a manager. I ended up driving running my errands and everywhere I went people kept saying to me are you OK? My response was, “I don’t know!” And truly I didn’t know! Now three weeks later I’m starting to feel a bit better.
What were your symptoms
I have hit my head a month back and now I have recurring swelling on my head. I have developed nerve pain throughout the left side of my body and the skin tingles. Is this also a sign of concussion? How can I treat this?
@CompleteConcussions I’ve just now wondered about this. I was hit by a car in September of 2013, I was curious if I may have some long lasting trauma. I believe the car was going at 40+ MPH, might be less. I was hit in the leg, and might have had whiplash as well. I also only had a big broken toe.
I’ve had 4 concussions .
Can I fully heal ? Or will I always be suffering the consequences of it
It doesnt' matter how many you've had...concussions are recoverable!
@@CompleteConcussions
Thank you for replying .
I have vibration issues , causing me to be nauseous from time to time during the day , is thier something I can do or take , or not do to get better?
How likely is a concussion without an impact? Something like a fast swerve in a car where your head moves quickly side to side? Great info.
You can get a concussion without hitting your head however you require quite bit of force - swerve in a car, likely not enough...roller coaster, likely not enough. Massive hit on the football field where your head whips back and forth - possible!
Does sideways whiplash cause anything different to your typical back and forth whiplash?
Hello sir good morning from India. Just found your channel lucky me after searching lots of videos. I hit my top of head while working out in gym in a bar while standing up. And i didn't got dizzy or anything else while hitting my head just little pain and it got little swollen there and feels tight sometimes. Pls help me is it serious cause sometimes my head feels tightness there
Hey Dr. Cameron Marshall, I wanted to know if there is any established lower treshold for the intensity and frequency of concussion symptoms? Like from what point is it reasonable to speak of a concussion?
I hit my head on the bus and suffered no symptoms really. However, the next day (after 24h had elapsed) when taking a shower I suddenly had the sensation of the floor moving beneath my feet. The next day, again in the shower, the same thing. Both times it lasted less than a minute. I have never had this before or since. Is this a concussion? As I said there were no other symptoms apart from this for a whole week and both times it occured when stepping into the shower
Too hard to say from my vantage point. The tricky thing is that concussion symptoms can look like a number of things. Example - you could have created a bit of a vestibular issue - warm water hitting your ear in the shower can trigger a vestibular response. My go to is to treat it like a concussion because you cant go wrong!
You need considerable force - 70G's and up - to get a concussion, although getting one from bumping your head against a stationary object is not unheard of. Not really sure how they can happen though as you probably would never get to those ranges of force
@@paulsrebuke Yess weird you can get a concussion from bumping your head like that. It is also unclear how minor concussion symptoms can be: like I only had them for two brief moments
@@CompleteConcussions Would you say it is likely to be concussion given the description? (The bus was stationary btw)
My docs have no idea what causes the symptoms and I'm being referred to a neurologist which is why I am so worried
I saw the packages you offer: do they include advice on how to spot concussion or is it mainly therapy?
@@CompleteConcussions Vertigo symptoms also don't quite match my experience and sound really vague in general, for me it was like there were holes in the floor of the shower (as if the ground was uneven but not moving), I wasn't dizzy or lightheaded either, there seems to be no clear info on this at all our there
i got a concussion 28 days ago in a rollover auto accident and started feeling less dizzy recently. Then, after a little lying down and rolling over I am worse again. But i also have 3 compression fractures in T 1,2,3 .
How about getting a concussion from shooting handguns at indoor shooting range ???
Concussion isn’t possible. Maybe minor forces from the shockwave of the firearm but this is negligible.
Thanks for the info. 😊
Any videos on a possible concussion from handgun blast and not a sinus problem. Headache, sleep problems, neck muscles sore.
Then why is my eye doctor saying that my vision is not the head injury I had???
Hey man, I know this sounds ridiculous but last night while laying down on my back in bed, a very powerful sneeze snuck up on me. I whipped my head forward and downwards really hard because of the sneeze, in a whiplash type of motion. I got up and used the bathroom and felt a little weird and foggy, but was entirely coherent and conscious the whole time. Could this be a possible concussion. Thanks in advance.
It would be very unlikely. A sneeze falls into the range of 3-4 G...concussion is 70+. So even if it was a wallop of a sneeze it would be unlikely to get that high...not saying impossible, but unlikely
@@CompleteConcussions thank you brother, I appreciate your content.
probably just a histamine rush,
and in a little while, your BP went back up to the normal 122-140/61-80 range.
Hello Doctor my son had concussion and was misdiagnosed with ptsd after 6months of ongoing symptoms he was diagnosed adhd and later bipolar....
e.g yesterday my teacher hit the top of my head with her hand a little fast. but not with malicious intent. i knew it but I have anxiety so I felt very bad in the moment. i didn't hurt but I wonder if this would damage my brain? (before i had a brain concussion)
Not likely... possible, but based on your description, the force seems low.
@@CompleteConcussions so is it a brain damage? do our brain cells die permanently? or it affect our intelligence? 😔
What a bad teacher! By the way, my teacher also used to hit me and slap my face when I was an elementary school! Now it has become an unpleasant memory! I got concussed after getting a very strong hit in my head 3 years ago though! I still remember that day vividly! Now I have concussion and miss those old days when I had no concussion or something! 🙃👎🏻
@@heavenly_girl sorry to hear that. and so I already hated that teacher. my most sensitive point..
Hi Dr my son hit his forehead with metal bat he’s playing outside instead of hitting ball the girl hit his forehead very hard with metal bat and after that he get very big goose egg on his forehead almost 2 weeks now but he’s suddenly feels headache on and off do we need to go with ct or no plz reply asap he’s 6 years old waiting for your reply need your help 🙏
I got a concussion during football Practice
i fell last year2021 and in 2016, also hit the top of my head, had a bump, in 2019 and when i was in elementary , stopped a dodgeball, saw stars.
Ok so I am so worried right now, I was talking to someone and stood up and banged my head off the shed door which was solid, the top of my head feels so sore (there's no bumps or bleeding) of course my anxiety has kicked in, my stomach is now playing up and I feel sick and like I'm going to pass out. I feel like this is all me overthinking it but I'm also worried I've done some damage. I'm now nearly 24 hours in and have a pain where i hit my head and I feel a little dizzy but I think that's my anxiety.... dies this sound like a concussion? I'm so worried.
maybe a closed hematoma from
contusion of
skull
If my symptoms happened an hour after does that mean it's more of a mild concussion??
no that has nothing to do with concussion severity. Some people experience a delayed onset of symptoms
How long do concussion-related headaches usually last? Can they be under 1 minute in total duration?
"concussion-related" headaches have varying subtypes - they can be migraine, tension, cervicogenic etc. The headache that you are talking about sounds like something called the "Ice-Pick Headache" - very intense and lasts a very short period of time. It can be associated with head trauma however we don't really know what causes them. I have had treatment success with patients working on reducing inflammation and working on the neck! Look up ice-pick headache and see what you think.
I slipped and fell 10 days ago and landed (no pun intended) hard and was diagnosed with a concussion/hematoma/brain bleed.
So, whether I had/have one isn't in doubt. However, I'd been heavy duty weight training and walking at a cardio level prior to the injury.
I was released from the hospital three days later after thorough testing. The neurologist recommended, like you did in another video, I only walk for at least 30 days prior to going back to weight training. My issue is there is no plan for me to be tested as you'd described in another video. There's no plan to test me on a treadmill to determine my threshold and whether or not I'm prepared to initiate weight training again at any RIR (Reps in Reserve). Guessing I should contact my primary care and arrange for the type of treadmill testing you'd recommend to determine a baseline. Correct?
What should be simple often isn't. I was 'bounding' up some stairs 2 at a time on a pedestrian bridge the other day and ran into a metal door. It was hot, I'd been running, I had just flown back from a timezone 6 hours offset from my current one (my run was supposed to help 'reset' me). Anyway, when you are out of breath and hot, and you can still feel the pain from smarting into a metal door, it's hard to know whether to attribute your feeling of being 'off' to a concussion or not. Based on your last video it seems unlikely I had a full blown concussion, but who knows. Hard to tell how many g's I would have experienced.
It's been a few days and I DO have concussion/pcs like symptoms (oddly, they've gotten worse since the first day, but like a fool I drank some wine while out with some friends). I had a hum dinger of a concussion years ago and had these symptoms for about 2 years, till they finally went away (for the most part). It's probably been 5 years since I've had them, but alas they have returned. Fingers crossed it won't last long.
Thanks for providing all this great info.
You'll "know" when it's a little too late. If you think you have one back off in sports. I hit my head jumping and landing poorly on a parachute and didn't take it seriously. I got hit in a boxing match and now I'm having some extreme symptoms. No doubt I have a concusion now lol
My head hurts
I've had two Legit concussions from Football and a Motorcycle accident...both times I couldn't remember my name, where I lived, or how to get home. SCARY STUFF, be safe ya'll.
I had a terrible concussion and just about made it to the doctor ,MY HEAD WAS BLEEDING BUT MY NECK WAS THE WORSE ,I told the doctor who was with a student ,that I thought I was having a mental and physical break down and she just told me to go across the busy motorway to get my eyes tested I told her I don't think I can make it across the road and she ignored me ,Next day I ended up in A&E ..9 YEARS LATER ,I still suffer with my neck and can only sleep on one side ...if I ever just tap my head I burst into tears and it takes about an hour to calm myself down ,I felt so betrayed as we can't fight a situation when we have just had an out of body experience ...I needed a neck brace and should have been helped to the hospital ...I sometimes feel I need to deal with this ongoing trauma but don,t know how ,its got better but I was seeing flashing lights for 2 years .
Thank goodness for video's like this .
I fell in the shower and hit my head hard 2days ago.. and the back of my head feels numb and I also have neck pain
Do I need to go to ER?
Hello how are you ?
What did you do? Did you go to the doctor?
I recently discovered your videos and am a bit confused. You have brought up the concussion threshold or range in what seems to be an effort to reduce the anxiety and misconceptions that even minor head bumps can be concussive injuries. In this video you’re saying you only need one symptom to reasonably suspect you have a concussion. Yet these seemingly minor head bumps can cause any number of these symptoms (e.g., headache, dizziness, cranial pressure). How does one discern they have a legitimate concussion in this scenario? For example, you mention the G forces necessary for a concussion. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t know how anyone can measure this on their own to know whether their injury fell within that range.
this is for educational purposes only...not so that people can try to self-determine if they have a concussion. Basically if you took a decent knock and you have one or more symptoms, you should be speaking to your healthcare professional (preferably one with expertise in concussion)
Hi so I have an issue with the 1 symptom criteria met causing the diagnosis of a concussion. My son recently got a boot to the side of the head and a scratch cut near his ear. He wasn't on the ground long and walked off with the physio. Then he was at the side of pitch, and the physio Said have you got a headache or blurry vision , to which he replied a little yes. He wasn't dizzy and no issue walking he sat down and within 10mins no issues with blurry vision and headache gone. He wanted to go back on but was told to rest, he got in the car had no symptoms, and has displayed none for 10 days. He exercised the same afternoon and the next day and had no sign of any symptoms at all. 10 days layer no symptoms. 2 days after he sat school exams and has all week. Tuesday he attended normal soccer training. No symptoms. On the same day he had the incident the soccer physio told him he was in the 23-day recovery process no exercise for 14 days and light training for 7 more. So I tried to work out why he had been diagnosed with concussion as he had only momentary signs and nothing at all after. Basically, I was asked to remove him from the sport he loves for for 15 days and a further 7 days of competition. Considering it was also not a direct blow but a glancing blow I consider it highly likely he never had a concussion. It isn't as easy to find a neurological practitioner as you suggest so as a parent of 4 kids I just have to try and apply some parental common sense. My lad is 16yrs 6ft and 85kg. It's all variable everyone's susecetability is different and also their recovery rate so why do we have this scat rule that says just 1 of the symptoms can be endured and for any length of time. On that basis, I've probably had 50 concussions in my life hence my deliciousness at the whole subject. Any thoughts
I had a concussion when I was 11, and another one at 34.
I have Clusters Headaches. No Dr's? Nope. Today I had my 3-4 th when I got a Real Big nother pain. I grabbed my head🤭 one hard peeps knocking themselves out. I went for it. Didn't work, I hit myself,,,, that was 6 hours ago, and nausuas , always dizzy, broken Vagus nerve. Don't think I do listening to ya.

Something I forgot to mention in the comment I made on the last video was the idea I had of putting accelerometers in the helmets of military personnel because then you'd get a larger sample size of adults of perhaps a wider age range and of sexes. It's still not a perfect sample size of the population but it would definitely yield more data on a wider range of people. The only thing it likely would not sample are rich people but I think the only difference between them and the rest of us is that they aren't tempted to join the military due to financial concerns.
Another thought I had was to just have accelerometers in all helmets but, of course, make it so that the person wearing the helmet can opt in or out of their data being used. You'd still only get info when the person was wearing the helmet but some of us wear them a lot and it would definitely contribute more information to the topic.
I have had all 22 symptoms for a decade. It's exhausting
Dizzy as the only symptom can be a vestibular event.
I've had 14 concussion. Every one included a brief moment of disturbed function. SCAT is BS.
You are arming too many people with concussion anxiety syndrome with false tools to obsess about every head bump or jarring.
Concussion symptoms overlap with a variety of conditions - this is correct. But to suggest that we arming people with concussion anxiety is false - you need to take a look at our other content. We spend most of our time trying to reduce concussion anxiety by presenting facts and research. Dizzy as the only symptom could be a vestibular event...but it can also be a sign of a concussion.
@@CompleteConcussions You have a lot of great content but I have been trying to help many who get locked into "I suffered a concussion because So-in-so said these symptoms are a concussion. Should I drop out of school and hide in a dark room? Am I going to get CTE? I was planning on XYZ school, "
Concussion Anxiety Syndrome, a term I coined for the online community over 8 years ago, is destroying lives. Every bump, bad step, strong unexpected hug, bumping the headboard during bedroom activities, a strong sneeze, hard brake/stop in the car, sets the CAS sufferer into a tailspin. They ask, "If that was not a concussion, was it a sub-concussive impact?" as if a single SCI is a high risk. They start looking for symptoms and post a list of symptoms like they copy and pasted it from some internet concussion specialist. The Concussion Management Industrial Complex is doing well but scaring the pee out of anybody with a bit of anxiety/OCD/health anxiety, etc.
If you really want to help people get better, do a better job of helping them differentiate anxiety symptoms or 'looked for' symptoms from real concussion symptoms. Help they understand their pre-existing anxiety/depression/health anxiety/OCD. 80% of people with prolonged 'concussion symptoms' have a pre-existing struggle with these issues. Treat the anxiety/OCD/depression and many of the concussion symptoms resolve. SSRI's and such become a necessary evil to get people past the hump of Concussion Anxiety Syndrome. Nobody has developed a CBT protocol for unhabituating these responses to bumps. I've heard of EMDR being tried..
How many concussions have you suffered in your life? Have any of them not had some immediate symptoms, for maybe 5 seconds then gone?
As neuroscientists know, Three repetitions of improper responses makes a habit. It takes 7 or more consecutive correct responses to start to undo that learned false response. People hear these "1. Mechanism of injury. 2. Any ONE symptom" and get locked into Concussion Anxiety Syndrome. A sensitive startle response and/or sensitive vestibular response to sudden movement can be that ONE symptom.
