@joe1965 - I'd like to extend my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I had a concussion about 12 years ago with delayed effect. I fell on a winter walk in a neighborhood with family on ice lightly covered by snow. I'm pretty positive my head hit before about other part of my body. It hurt, and I lay on my mom's couch for a bit. Mr family then went home and went to bed, and I hoped for the best.

However, I woke up about 2-3 in the morning feeling kind of like what you described - just not right in the head at all somehow. I told my husband I needed to go to the ER.

By my symptom description alone, the ER doctor diagnosed me with a concussion, though they may have gone on to do a head CT. It took me a month till I could tolerate TV, very much computer screen time, loud noises, bright lights, etc. I went to the grocery store and found I could not match my list to the things on the shelves, which scared me.

How are you doing now? Are you up for contacting your doctor's office to see if you could be seen promptly if your symptoms are still with you at all in the morning?

@joe1965 Concussions can be tricky. If you did not have a follow up with your doctor a week after the CT scan, you might want to consider it. If things don't settle down it's good for a doc to walk the path with you. Best wishes to you!
