Concussion Diagnosis
Concussion Diagnosis
To diagnose a concussion, your doctor will probably ask you a variety of questions. Be sure to say if you lost consciousness and report any other symptoms. The doctor will also want to know how the injury occurred and where you hit your head.
You may also be asked questions to test your memory and asked to do certain tasks to show how well your brain is functioning. Your doctor may ask your friends or family questions about your symptoms and the injury.
Images of your brain using CT or MRI scans may be taken and evaluated.
