Manage episode 447422844 series 3565405
Got your head in the game? In this episode, we're diving into the world of bumps, bonks, and brain busters—aka concussions! Whether you’re on your office ERT team, a sports parent, a weekend warrior, or just someone who occasionally walks into door frames (no judgment here, we've done it too), knowing the signs of a head injury could save you a headache… literally.
You'll learn some of the subtle symptoms that are easy to miss, like feeling foggy or forgetting the last play of the game, along with some of the big red flags like dizziness and nausea.
Tune in to find out when it’s time to take a hit seriously and what to do if you suspect someone may have a concussion. Want to know what to avoid during recovery (hint: put the video games on pause!) and how to make sure you're on the safest path back to action? We've got you covered, and we’ll keep it light, because you don’t need any more stress in that busy little brain of yours.
So, before you (or someone you know) decides to just "shake it off," listen up and get the lowdown on how to keep your head *safely* in the game.
