Concussion

🏈 If you play sports or you have children who play sports, you need to know about concussion.

🧠 Concussion is a traumatic brain injury, which happens when your brain moves inside your skull because of a bump or blow to a head or body. It often happens in contact sports and road traffic accidents.

Symptoms may not appear right away; they can develop up to 72 hours after the injury and can include:

😨 Headache
🤢 Nausea
😵‍💫 Dizziness
🔄 Loss of balance and memory
💤 Sleeplessness

There are multiple things we can do to protect ourselves and prevent concussion:

⛑️ Wear a helmet when appropriate
🔌 Remove obstacles from the floor at home
🏂 Wear protective equipment when playing sports
🗺️ Always be aware of your surroundings
