Mild Concussion? - Mental Health Message Board

Drew86 · 04-13-2008, 11:16 PM

For some time now I've been having some pretty bad memory problems. Just yesterday I completely forgot about something pretty important, something I really shouldn't have forgotten. This is an example of what I mean by a bad memory. My focus isn't great and I often refer to myself as scatterbrained. I also think I have APD, I've done a little research and I fit the symptoms almost on point.

About 7 years ago I had a Mild Concussion, I'm beginning to think worst than that (found out after I talked to the doctor that I went unconscious for a bit), when I hit the right side of my head on a metal bumper. My question is, could these things be related to that, assuming that the concussion was in fact mild? How about worst?

I also have a problem with explaining myself clearly, let me know if I need to go into more detail with something and I will do my best to fill in the blanks -_-'

Thank you

Have a brain scan done with contrast that should tell you have any brain lesions if nothing else you need a complete physical with blood work to see if something else is going on rather than self diagnosis and worry ...there could be something that can help you.
