What Causes Severe Headache While Waking Up After Suffering A Concussion?

Question: I first noticed the smell of sulpher when I Pooped. Now I seem to smell it not all the time but quite frequently. About a yr. ago I had a very significant concussion. At that time I also broke mpy orbital and had two very Literally deep purple to black eyes. My words were slured. I thought I was getting better but lately, I wake up with headaches. Usually when I wake up on my back. Lately I get frustrated and I don't let it show so I laugh it off. I have a hard time talking and reading words properly or in the right order. I've looked up a number for a neurologist. I just haven't called yet. Forgetfullness and well I just call them brain farts, they seem to be happening more and more often. At first I had two CT scans and every thing came out normal. What should I do now. I do drink a little more than I should but I don't think these symptoms are from the alcohol.

The symptoms seem to be suggestive of partial seizures.
You will need to meet a neurologist for testing a MRI brain and EEG.
Also alcohol does trigger seizures, so better to avoid.

I sometimes jump at night. It doesn't hurt but it's kind of like a cold chill with out the cold or the chill. I also do this during the day. I just pass it off as a cold chill. I am really tired of this but I am generally a very go happy person. I wanted to say something else but like I said I forget things very quickly and no I have not been drinking tonight. lol (sort of). If these were sigors will it have a long term effect?

Detailed Answer:
1st partial seizures are triggered by alcohol. But that does not mean that they will not happen if you don't drink alcohol. Only the frequency will reduce.
Second it means that there is a problem ongoing in the brain, so it can have long term effects depending on the condition- besides, with every seizure a few thouand neurons die.
Third, memory deficits are part of seizures.
Best of luck.
