Concussions can be serious: They may cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, confusion, and memory issues.
Immediate care is important: Seek emergency care if you experience loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, worsening headache, or confusion.
Recovery varies: Most recover fully with rest and gradual return to activities, but some may have prolonged symptoms.
Avoiding further injury: Protect your head and avoid activities that risk another concussion during recovery.

Consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and guidance tailored to your situation.
