Sometimes a simple bump can cause a lifetime of struggle and pain. Even mild injuries to the brain can cause a concussion and lead to complications.

A serious brain injury will have very noticeable symptoms right from the time of injury. Let’s explore the mild symptoms first because they’re often ignored.

Concussions are serious injuries and need to be taken seriously. Because it’s a fairly common injury, it’s important to know what to do if you or someone you know has one.

Someone who experiences a brain injury may also deal with sensory issues. They may feel dizzy and struggle with balance and hand-eye coordination. Blurry vision is a common complication.

As you might suspect there is some overlap in the type of brain injury a person might have. For example, a coup-contrecoup injury can also cause a concussion.

Some of the most common challenges for patients living with brain injuries are the ability to plan and organize the day, the ability to stay on task and the ability to recall information.
