Trauma to the Head

With what I’ve been through with my Mum situation I’ve learned a lot and will blog it here and hope that it will be of help to you if such situation comes across your path.

If a person has hit their head observed if:-

1) Unconscious – if the person black out it means that the brain had a very bad shaking.
2) Vomiting – this shows that our system is reacting to the shaking of our brain.
3) Numbness of legs or arms – this will usually be on one side. Not able to raise the hand or leg.
4) Slur of speech – if it had hit the bottom part of the head, it will cause some trauma to the speech part of the brain.
5) Bad headache – due to pressure of the bleeding to the brain.
6) Dizziness – that means something in the brain is imbalance already that’s why the dizziness comes.

If the person is experiencing anyone of these symptoms after the fall please please bring the person in for a scan to check if everything is okay or not. Think this symptom are also for a person who has a stroke. No harm to scan if there is nothing at least we know there is nothing. We can’t see from the outside, so the only way is thru a CT scan. So don’t take it lightly if the above symptoms persist!
