Concerns about a concussion require stopping activity immediately and getting medical evaluation. When signs of a concussion are present, the brain has been injured, and continuing to push through activity can worsen the injury or lead to more serious problems. A healthcare provider can assess severity, check for complications, and give safe guidance on when it’s okay to return to activity. Avoid taking NSAIDs right away, as they can mask symptoms or affect bleeding risk, and simply “sleeping it off” isn’t enough without medical review. If any red flags develop—confusion, repeated vomiting, increasing headache, weakness, seizures, or loss of consciousness—seek emergency care right away.
