I hit my head hard. What should I know about a traumatic brain injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a severe injury caused by any hard blow, jolt, or bump to the head or body or when an object pierces the brain tissue (bullet, skull fragments). Not every blow to or jolt of the head causes a TBI.

A TBI affects normal brain function. A mild TBI causes temporary problems, while a severe TBI can cause permanent disability.

What are the typical symptoms of a traumatic brain injury?

A TBI causes various symptoms depending on how severe the injury is. You could notice some symptoms right away, while others could appear a week later.

Common TBI symptoms include:

• Headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Blurry vision
• Ringing in the ears
• Poor concentration
• Forgetfulness
• Trouble sleeping
• Agitation
• Depression

If you’ve injured your head and notice any of these symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for an evaluation. TBIs need immediate medical attention.
