Frequent Concussions, Fatigue, Slurred Speech, Problem In Coordination, Severe Headache, Watery Eye. History Of TBI And Craniotomy. Serious?

I had a TBI in 2007 where a craniotomy was preformed to repair a fractured right temporal bone and to remove a blood clot near the brain stem. I have had 4-5 concussions since then. My most recent occurred yesterday, and is steadily getting worse. I have been having a lot of watery eye but only from my left eye, other symptoms include fatigue slurred speech, coordination problems and increased headaches. Could the water eye be from this concussion if so do I need to be concerned?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Watering of left eye is not related to concussion, so its cause needs to be identified and treated. An ophthalmologist (eye specialist) may help in this.
Your other symptoms are related to concussion and would resolve over a few days.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
