Do I need a concussion assessment?
If any of these were noticed after a knock to the head, an assessment is recommended:
- A dazed or vacant look, or slow to get up
- Unsteadiness, balance problems or poor coordination
- Loss of consciousness or responsiveness
- Confusion about what happened
- Being more emotional or irritable than normal
Common symptoms
- Headache or 'pressure in the head'
- Dizziness or visual problems
- Feeling foggy, confused or slowed down
- Nausea, fatigue or drowsiness
- Sensitivity to light or noise
