This topic is locked from further discussion.
Myth 1: Fall asleep with a concussion and you might die.
Not so, says David Hovda, M.D., a professor of neurosurgery and director of the UCLA brain-injury research center. After trauma occurs, it's important to watch for the signs of a life-threatening brain injury: double vision, dizziness, and nausea or vomiting. "But you'll wake up if you start to vomit," says Dr. Hovda. If these symptoms arise, find a doctor immediately.
You are supposed to stay awake so that people can gauge any neurological damage you may have received. Obviously, if you are asleep, no one can see if you are suffering from dizziness, slurred speech or double vision.
Man, if you really have a concussion good on ya for coming on here and posting. Must be running off instinct and auto-pilot, but you should really go to the hospital. Doing a quick google search on the city you listed on your profile, you either live in Europe or Canada (from what I gather) so you should take advantage of that health care, man. lol.
Seriously, go see a doctor.

Um, when seeking medical attention, don't consult the internet. Not even WebMD. I had a rash once, they told me I had pancreatic cancer.
Especially don't ask a forum. And if you do, don't make it a video game forum.
