Alcohol and signs of concussion
A repeat concussion that occurs before the brain recovers from the first – usually within a short period of time (hours, days, or weeks) – can slow recovery or increase the likelihood of having long-term problems. Pain at the site of injury is to be expected, but a headache that lasts well after the impact can be the signs of concussion. It was presumed that there was a correlation between those two events and the amount of potential brain damage.
A health care professional can decide how serious the concussion is and whether you require treatment. Alcohol may slow down how quickly you recover, increase your risk for another injury, and make it harder than it already is to make decisions. Many different systems have been used to grade or describe concussions.
