What Medication Is Suggested For Bad Concussions?

i had a pretty bad concussion that lasted 3 months - a 3 month long dream. i fell and my brain squished the inside of my head. it came with weird symptoms. i could smell people s body odor from across the room, and i was ravenously hungry. one day i decided to eat until i felt full and that took 10,000 calories. everything is gone now except for the ringing in my ears, which is still around after 6 months. why do you get such weird symptoms??? i have a previous functional brain injury that made me unable to read for a while, about 15 yrs ago (i was on a bike and hit by a car). right after that i also got weird symptoms, which included a symphony of ears ringing, auras. it took years - maybe seven o for the ringing to go away. i am ambidextrous now so i think my brain reorganized a little. i have been a bit spacey most of my adult like but finally things have been okay. how long till they stop ringing this time? it is the most annoying thing on the planet. i was really enjoying the quiet.

Hi,
Thank you for using HCM. I can truly understand your concern. Having survived two head injuries , you have already gone through a lot. Usually, post a brain injury, people take weeks or months to recover and go back to their pre injury life style depending on the severity and the area damaged. So the good news is that you have already almost recovered.
You have also asked why do these symptoms occur. These symptoms depend upon the area of the brain damage. Your brain controls your sense of smell, feelings of hunger and satiety, emotions, etc.
About the ringing in your ear, please see an ENT specialist for further évaluation.

Hope this was helpful. Take care.
