Virginia Brain Injury Attorney Lists 12 Questions to Expect From a Doctor Diagnosing a Concussion

• Concussions are more than "getting your bell rung." They are serious injuries to your brain that can produce headaches, dizziness, loss of sleep, nausea, short-term memory loss and changes in behavior such as reduced impulse control and short-temperedness.

Doctors, nurses, EMTs and other health professionals categorize concussions as mild traumatic brain injuries, or MTBIs. Getting an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan for an MTBI are essential because undetected concussions can create long-term problems related to lingering symptoms. They can also put you at risk for a potentially fatal condition known as second impact syndrome. With second impact syndrome, can die or slip into a coma from a later blow to the head while suffering from an unhealed MTBI.

Seeking immediate medical attention when you get hit in the head and become disoriented or lose consciousness is essential. When you do see your doctor, expect to hear the following questions. Answer each as fully and honestly as you can. Your life may depend on it.

• What caused your injury and possible concussion?
• Have you ever been diagnosed as having a concussion?
• Have you done anything to treat your symptoms, such as taking medicine?
• What do you remember immediately before and immediately after getting injured?
• Did you lose consciousness, suffer seizures, become confused or experience any other medical issues immediately or shortly after the impact?
• Have you noticed any new symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, lack of coordination or problems thinking and concentrating?
• Will you be playing contact sports or engaging in physically dangerous activities in the coming weeks or months?
• Have you or others seen significant changes in your moods and behavior, such as depression, anxiety or uncontrollable anger?
• Have you noticed significant changes in your sleep patterns or habits?
• Are you feeling more tired or lacking in energy than usual?
• Have any of the symptoms you described earlier improved over time?
• Did you miss days in school or at work after becoming injured? If you have not returned to work or school, when do you plan to go back?

If your doctor confirms a concussion diagnosis after you answer these questions, follow his directions regarding prescription or OTC medications, rest and follow-up visits for further assessment to the letter. And if your MTBI resulted from someone else's carelessness or negligence, consider contacting a personal injury attorney with experience providing legal advice and representation to brain injury victims. Getting assistance from a lawyer can help you receive compensation for the money you spent on medical care and for the wages you lost while missing work to recover.
