Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I had to get stitches in my eye and had a concussion from my softball game- I ran into a fence. I have persistent headaches and sleeping problems. It has been two weeks since the accident. I am a 18 year old female. I had two concussions in my past. I am an active athlete. I play college softball. At my game 2 weeks ago I was playing the outfield and pursuing a ball that kept tailing foul. At the last second I dove and caught the top of the fence to my eye. I blackout and an ambulance was called. I ended up getting ten stiches. I did not tell anyone I had symptoms of a concussion because not only the process is time consuming but I knew I would be fine and I did not want anyone to worry. Since then I have irregular sleep patterns and I have throbbing headaches. Sometimes I say the wrong words without knowing and write common words wrong.
