concussion

[seppuku]

i hope i dont have it, but i might have it. if not now i will at some point in the future. im assuming some of you have had experience with it.. what should i look out for after letting a hard shot straight through my guard and what should i do about it if i think i am concussed

hope thats coherent, im slightly dizzy. not much, but a little

Maybe a headache for a couple days. Maybe a little blearly in the head.



The medic at a fight will check the fighter out and send him home. Usually with some instruction to his coach or whoever to keep an eye on him and take him to the hospital if his symptoms get worse.





Of course it's the sort of thing you need to make your own decision on - nobody would like to give much medical advice over the internet.

headache sounds good. i was told if i feel sick or get really tired i should get to casulty but i dont really want to. my head feels ok, it would just be nice to know what to do next time it happens.

ill ask my trainer when i see him i suppose... but since tis session was a light one in his absense he might be slightly annoyed that we managed one guy cut, another severely winded at one point, and me going to hospital... so subtlety required. good session tho, amazing how much you can learn from sparring with a far better boxer

thanks tho, a headache for a while i can cope with

your brain will ooze blood and the blood on the outside of your brain will cause pressure that will force your brain out of your left ear -medula first!


If this happens find a camera and then call 911...

A sure sign of concussiion is one pupil appearing of a larger size than the other.

Just don't get hit for a while. I've had a lot of concussions, I can't fight until I get hit a few times. What ever you do, NEVER TAKE ASPIRIN AFTER A HARD SHOT TO THE HEAD! It will increase bleeding and you could DIE.

I'm kinda fuzzy right now from a few head shots I took last night...

[seppuku]

how do you spell spelt then? (nice reply btw lol)
aspirin would yeah, but i cant say id thought of it. it thins the blood, not good for concussion that....

nasty, nasty headache today. dizzy spells as well. not so fun. gonna keep my f**king hands up next time

[pittbulldog]

I believe that would be spelled.
