Minor Concussion, Excessive Hunger, Stomach Pain On Not Eating. Taking Vicodin, Zofran. Concussion Symptoms?
Hello, I was diagnosed with a minor concussion a few days ago, and am taking vicodin , zofran, and naprosyn (i also have a radial head fracture ). My question, is ever since i ve been incredibly hungry, to the point of stomache pains if i do not eat. I have been taking the meds with food, as prescribed. Could this be caused by the concussion?

Hi, welcome to HCM.
There is no such relationship between concussion and hunger. As you are on medication, hunger may be a response to the medications.
Radial head fracture will take time to heal. It may mild headache or heaviness for few days.
No need to worry for hunger. Have a healthy diet . It will benefit for healing.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
