Do I Have a Concussion?

If you have sustained a head injury and are exhibiting symptoms of a concussion, you must seek medical attention immediately.

Brain injury experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have listed several symptoms and observable behaviors that signify a possible concussion. Although you should never attempt to diagnose a concussion on your own, your answers to the questions in this survey can indicate a concussion.

3. Are they answering questions slowly?

4. Are they experiencing weakness, numbness, or tingling anywhere?

5. Is their speech slurred?

6. Are their pupils the same size? Is one larger than the other?

8. Can they recall events before or after a blow to the head?

9. Can they follow instructions?

10. Are their movements clumsy?
