10 Symptoms of Concussion

Symptom #9: Slurred Speech
Slurred speech is quite a common problem with conditions or injuries that cause confusion, lethargy, or dizziness. This includes concussions that result from head injuries.
In the case of a concussion, slurred speech is a sign that you’ve taken damage to the muscles or to the receptors in the brain that are necessary to articulate speech. While the control of these areas can return overtime, it’s still a good idea to see your doctor right away if you experience this symptom following trauma to the head.
