How Can Brain Injuries Affect Victims in Gainesville, Georgia?
While broken bones, burns, and lacerations may heal over time, brain injuries often have lasting effects. Traumatic brain injuries are often the result of a violent blow to the head, often the result of a violent collision or fall.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information reports that TBIs severely disable 150-200 million people annually, making them the top cause of disability for people under 40. When severe, TBIs can cause physical damage to the brain that can be seen on a CT scan or MRI, but many TBIs are not so easy to detect. However, several warning signs could suggest a person is suffering from a TBI. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms can include:
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Problems with speech
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Sensory problems, such as blurred vision, ringing in the ears, a bad taste in the mouth or changes in the ability to smell
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Loss of consciousness for a few seconds to a few minutes
- No loss of consciousness, but a state of being dazed, confused or disoriented
- Memory or concentration problems
- Mood changes or mood swings
- Feeling depressed or anxious
- Difficulty sleeping
- Sleeping more than usual
For more severe TBIs, the symptoms can include:
- Loss of consciousness from several minutes to hours
- Persistent headache or headache that worsens
- Repeated vomiting or nausea
- Convulsions or seizures
- Dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes
- Clear fluids draining from the nose or ears
- Inability to awaken from sleep
- Weakness or numbness in fingers and toes
- Loss of coordination
- Profound confusion
- Agitation, combativeness, or other unusual behavior
- Slurred speech
- Coma and other disorders of consciousness
For children, the symptoms can be different and more difficult to identify. It is important to be on the lookout for:
- Change in eating or nursing habits
- Unusual or easy irritability
- Persistent crying and inability to be consoled
- Change in ability to pay attention
- Change in sleep habits
- Seizures
- Sad or depressed mood
- Drowsiness
- Loss of interest in favorite toys or activities
Victims of severe TBIs often have to learn the basics of life: breathing, eating, talking, or walking. It is a difficult path for both the victim and his/her family.
