On ‘Life Quakes,’ hosts Patricia Wu and Jessica Reyes hears from a viewer who took a hit to the head during a soccer game. He’s been experiencing headaches and dizziness, and he’s worried he might have a concussion. Guest speech pathologist Meaghan Arnold offers important advice.
Don’t Ignore Head Hits
Seemingly minor head injuries can sometimes be serious. Pay attention to how you feel after a hit, and rest if symptoms occur.
Know the Signs
Headaches, dizziness, or any changes in your usual behavior could signal a concussion.
Advocate for Yourself
If you’re worried, see a doctor. Even if you don’t need urgent care, it’s important to establish a baseline for your brain health.
