10 Symptoms of Whiplash
Symptom #9: Sleep Disturbances
Whiplash may also lead to sleep disturbances which may occur due to the pain emanating from the injured tissues. The sleep disturbances may result from sadness, worrying and other emotional changes that the patient undergoes as a consequence of dealing with posttraumatic challenges. The patient may not have the means to support himself or his family following whiplash injury. This can interfere with his sleep.
It is worth to note that worrying and sleeplessness can lead to increased stress or even depression. These secondary whiplash symptoms can compound the problem and interfere with the healing process. The patient may also experience other symptoms like poor appetite, fatigue, dizziness and vision problems.
