What Are the Symptoms of a Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury can have both short-term and long-term effects, depending on the severity of the injury. Even if a survivor does not exhibit any symptoms immediately after sustaining the injury, it does not necessarily mean that it is not serious. Therefore, you should prioritize a visit to the doctor as soon as possible after sustaining a brain injury.

Below is a list of some of the most common brain injury symptoms:

• Persistent headaches or migraines
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Trouble sleeping or sleeping more than usual
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Loss of balance
• Depression or anxiety
• Severe mood swings
• Seizures
• Slurred speech
• Changes in eating habits
• Difficulty paying attention
• Loss of interest in favorite activities
• Numbness in fingers or toes
• Aggression and combativeness

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

Numerous accidents can result in a brain injury. That said, some are more common than others.

Below are some of the most common causes of brain injuries:

• Falls from great heights, including ladders or stairs
• Traffic collisions, including motorcycles, bikes, cars, trucks, and pedestrians
• Physical assault
• Sports injuries, particularly football, boxing, soccer, hockey, and other extreme or high-impact sports
• Combat injuries, including those that involve explosive blasts

Additionally, children, adults 60 years of age and older, and males in any age group are most at risk for sustaining a brain injury.

Possible Health Complications

It is not uncommon for a brain injury, especially a severe one, to result in health complications and continued pain and discomfort, which is why it is considered a catastrophic injury.

Below are some of the possible health complications a survivor might experience:

• Vertigo, which can result in dizziness
• Blood vessel damage, which can cause a stroke or result in blood clots
• Infections, which can be caused by penetrating wounds or skull fractures that allow bacteria to enter the brain

Brain injuries also increase one’s chances of developing a cognitive degenerative disease in the future.
