Hi! My dtr is 14 yo and does competitive cheerleading. Today she started seeing black moving spots all over her homework paper, these spots lasted several minutes. She also had a slight headache and after the spots were gone she said she just felt weird (like lightheaded? but couldnt really explain it). Once I started questioning her about it she said in one of her classes today at school she felt really weird (again not really being able to explain it). After thinking back to her practice last night, we remembered her getting hit in the head 3 times during practice. She then told me that she forgot to tell me she got a headache after getting hit and then when tumbling after that she would become lightheaded. Should I be concerned enough to take her to get checked or is it appropriate to just keep an eye on her and limit her for a little while? Thanks
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You should always get an expert opinion in this matter. The blow could be mild or moderate. Our skull do have shock withstanding capacity. Fracture could only trigger internal damage. The symptoms your daughter mentions could just be worry related. She is anxious about what had happened and why she felt dizzy or light-headed. Deep sleep should cure her symptoms. Still consult a physician to be sure. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
