Common Symptoms of TBI

There are two types of brain injuries: major and mild. Major brain injuries happen when a piece of the brain is missing or severely damaged while mild brain injuries involve less of a physical change to the structures of the brain itself. It is important to note that while these injuries may be considered "mild" in terms of brain injuries, they are still serious and can have a substantial impact and lasting consequences.

Most brain injuries are classified as mild. These may result in a range of issues, including:

• Headaches/Migraines
• Blurred or impaired vision
• Sensitivity to light
• Confusion and memory loss
• Slurred speech or an inability to communicate
• Concussion or loss of consciousness
• Seizures
• Changes in personality
• Nausea
• Dilated pupils or ringing on the ears
• Difficulty concentrating or cognitive impairment

It is vital that you or a loved one seek medical attention after an accident. Whether you immediately exhibit the above symptoms or if they develop over time, being under the care of a doctor can help track and treat the signs of TBI while preventing the damage from getting worse. Never let brain trauma go untreated.
