What Causes Losing Sense Of Touch And Taste?

I m having strange symptoms. I m consistently in a daze, almost like a light high. I sometimes lose sense of touch and taste. I did smoke weed 5 days ago, but is there anyway that can be linked with my symptoms? I did hit my head.. Could it be a mild concussion?

Hi,

If you've not smoked any "weed" since 5 days ago and taken no other type of illicit drug then, I don't think the way you currently feel has much to do with having smoked the marijuana since your high would've cleared out of your system.

On the other hand, your concussion or TBI may very well be entering a period during what we refer to as the post-concussive period and so your symptoms may very well be due to this phenomenon. These are usually self-limited over a period of several hours.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
