A traumatic brain injury, commonly referred to as just a TBI, typically occurs when someone suffers a blow to their head or their body, which then causes the brain to “jiggle” in their head. A TBI is one of the most serious injuries that can occur, and in many cases, the symptoms of this injury don’t even appear until several days after the accident.
If you have recently been involved in a trip and fall accident, car accident, or another type of accident, you may have experienced a brain injury. It’s important to remember you may suffer a brain injury even if the blow didn’t directly impact your head.
Mild Brain Injuries
If you have suffered a mild brain injury, you may or may not blackout directly after the accident. If you don’t, you may still feel confused or dazed. If you happened to lose consciousness, you likely woke up within a few minutes or seconds.
Some of the other signs of a mild brain injury include:
-
Depression
-
Headache
-
Mood swings
-
Fatigue
-
Trouble concentrating
-
Vomiting
-
Impaired memory
-
Sleep impairment
