Understanding Brain Injuries
A brain injury can happen when trauma affects the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. These injuries may result from falls, car accidents, sports injuries, workplace injuries or other serious trauma.
Symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity of injury. Some symptoms appear immediately, while others may develop over time.
Common symptoms may include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Confusion
- Memory or concentration issues
- Nausea
- Vision changes
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Fatigue
- Mood or behavior changes
- Weakness, numbness or coordination problems
Because brain injuries can affect thinking, movement, emotions and daily function, medical evaluation and follow-up care are important.
