I have this question..

[Artofwar]

Hello,


One week ago i had a really rough training. We sparred and we practiced combinations on each others defense(shell) and without headgear.
After and during the training i had this headache and i still have it, it's already 1 week ago.

Also after training i had the feeling i had to puke(luckily i didn't)


What could this be, maybe a light concussion?


Best regards.

Any time you have a headache from being hit in the head, it is likely you suffered some degree of brain trama. The question is how much. Given it has been a week and you felt nausea, that tells me it requires paying attention to. Your best bet is to stop sparring for a while atleast...

As far as brain trama goes : Traumatic brain injury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is a list of symptoms to look out for. Not enough boxers are aware of them, or their trainers for that matter, but should be.

Mild TBI

-headache
-mental confusion
-lightheadedness
-dizziness
-double vision, blurred vision, or tired eyes
-ringing in the ears
-bad or metallic taste in the mouth
-fatigue or lethargy
-a change in sleep patterns
-behavioral, personality or mood changes
-trouble with memory, concentration, or calculation
-decreased coordination
-symptoms may remain the same or get better; worsening symptoms indicate a more severe injury

Moderate or Severe TBI

-loss of consciousness
-personality change
-a severe, persistent, or worsening headache
-repeated vomiting or nausea
-seizures
-inability to awaken
-dilation (widening) of one or both pupils
-slurred speech
-weakness or numbness in the extremities
-loss of coordination
-increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation
-abnormal posturing, ie. decorticate or decerebrate posturing
-vomiting and neurological deficit (e.g. weakness in a limb) together are important indicators of prognosis and their presence may warrant early CT scanning and neurosurgical intervention.

yea Scrap, I hear ya on the neck and shoulders. I use to get headaches from a stiff neck and shoulders, and not really any injury at all. It always seemed to be worse later in the day. I found out that it is a trait in my family, and that we all carry our stress there. My dad broke out an old tens machine and hooked me up. Well talk about falling in love. lol

I hook that up when it gets bad, it has 6 pads, 2 between the shoulder blades, 2 on top on shoulders and 2 on base of neck. Better then any drug you'll ever find for a muscle stess headache, and it isn't even close.

Thank you for your responses Scrap and Youngblood.
What i think it was/is is a mild TBI, since i have

• Headache
• dizziness
• mood changes
• fatigue
• change in sleep patterns

I guess a week or 2 of more rest should fix all of those?

If your last sparring session was working on punches and defense, then it shouldn't have gotten to that point. Isn't there supposed to be a coach to keep things in control!? I hope that you're doing okay, hearing about that kind of ill treatment sickens me.
