A Dallas County Hospital physical therapist shares what to watch for in case of concussion.

The state might not be covered in mountains of snow anymore, the colder weather can still leave icy spots on the ground. Clint Lutterman is a Physical Therapist with 21st Century Rehabilitation at Dallas County Hospital says concussions can be sneaky but zeros in on areas of major concern.

“When you need to be concerned is when you’re noticing dizziness, more intense headaches, things just don’t feel quite right, vision issues, especially if you start to notice changes in consciousness, you’re having trouble staying awake. Or you start having vomiting, things like that. Those are things you need to go to the emergency room for and get checked out right away.”

In addition to those symptoms, Lutterman emphasizes that the biggest concern when a person hits their head is a brain bleed. He says that lingering symptoms require a visit to the hospital and stresses that it’s better to be extra cautious about potential concussions.
