The long-term effects of a concussion can depend on the severity and duration of the injury. Some common effects include memory and concentration problems, difficulty sleeping, irritability and mood swings, headaches, dizziness, nausea and blurred vision. Concussions have also been linked to an increased risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is caused by repeated head trauma. It is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider and take special precautions to reduce the risk of long-term effects from a head injury.
