Does my boyfriend have a concusion?

Question

My boyfriend went wakeboarding on Saturday when he crashed.

The impact was so hard his feet came out of the binding of the boot.

He fell head first into the water and when we came back to see him he look dazed and confused.

Well he was sore on Sunday which is to be expected.

This morning he woke up and did not feel good.

He has stayed in bed all morning and complains of a major head ache.

When he stands up he almost falls over because he can not stand up straight.

He feels very sick and feels like throwing up, also he feels very tired but can't sleep.

His eyes hurt, and feels kind of foggy.

Does he need to see a doctor?

Thankss a lot!

Answer 1

Yes you should have taken him to the doctor. He really might be bleeding in his head. That can cause major brain damage and even death. I am telling you that you need to take him to the doctor and make them take x-rays. You need to go immediately!!!!!!!

Symptoms of a concussion may include:

-"seeing stars" and feeling dazed, dizzy, or lightheaded

-memory loss, such as trouble remembering things that happened right before and after the injury

-nausea or vomiting

-headaches

-blurred vision and sensitivity to light

-slurred speech or saying things that don't make sense

-difficulty concentrating, thinking, or making decisions

-difficulty with coordination or balance (such as being unable to catch a ball or other easy tasks)

-feeling anxious or irritable for no apparent reason

-feeling overly tired

Answer 5

Chickmed is right.  It sounds EXACTLY like a concussion, but it could be even worse than that.
