When the brain shifts inside the skull, its delicate communication network is briefly thrown into chaos. At first, you might feel normal. Then the cracks begin to show: a dull headache, dizziness, nausea, or a strange sensitivity to light and noise that wasn\u2019t there before. As days pass, new changes can emerge\u2014slower thinking, difficulty focusing, memory slips, irritability, or sudden waves of fatigue that feel impossible to shake. Sleep can swing from wanting to lie down all day to being unable to rest at all, and vision may blur or struggle to keep up. These aren\u2019t \u201coverreactions\u201d; they\u2019re warning signals from an overworked brain. Taking them seriously, resting early, and getting medical guidance can shorten recovery and prevent lasting damage. No head bump is ever too small to respect.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1861172\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1766448\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<aside id=\"secondary\" class=\"widget-area sidebar\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<footer id=\"colophon\" class=\"site-footer\">\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"site-bottom\" class=\"no-footer-widgets clear\">\n<div class=\"container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A head injury doesn\u2019t need blood, bruises, or dramatic collapse to be serious.
