How long do post-concussion symptoms typically last, and when should I seek emergency care?

Many people improve within days to weeks, but some develop symptoms that last longer. What matters most is whether symptoms are improving or worsening.

Go to the ER immediately for danger signs

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for severe or worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, increasing confusion, weakness/numbness, slurred speech, unusual behavior, unequal pupils, or inability to wake up. See the CDC's list of danger signs: CDC guidance.

If symptoms persist or interfere with work/school/driving, contact All Things Neuro to discuss coordinated evaluation and follow-up: Contact.
