10 Symptoms of Concussion
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Memory Loss
Another serious symptom that people who have concussions might experience is amnesia, or memory loss. This can be temporary or permanent.
When it’s temporary, your brain is simply withdrawing from its executive functions, such as recalling memories, while it gives itself time to heal. It’s quite common for you not to remember anything around the time of the injury. Permanent amnesia, on the other hand, is far less common and only tends to occur following very serious injuries to the head.
