The symptoms of concussion can be quite varied. There can be a loss of consciousness for less
than twenty minutes to no loss of consciousness, just being dazed.
Younger kids will complain of seeing stars, you've no memory of what happened. You're
not really laying down memories for a period of time immediately afterwards, but not for
more than twenty-four hours.
If it's more than twenty-four hours, it's more than a concussion. You can complain of
headaches. You can often complain of dizziness, ringing in your ears, or tinnitus. You can
have problems with sleep. You can have problems paying attention. You can be slower in processing
information. You're more irritable and more angry. You get fatigue, and you get tired
all the time, be it from physical activity or from mental activity. You just don't feel
good. You don't feel yourself. Those are sort of the big ones for a concussion.
