Can you die from temples

I have never ending headaches and recently I have had uncontrolled outbursts over nothing. I have a hard time concentrating now and my memory is very much worse. Recently I have even had a loss of appetite and now I weigh pounds.

I don't know what to do anymore because my concussion has interfered with my school work now and I'm scared it will ruin my life. Is there anything that I can do to make the pain go away besides painkillers? I got a concussion on Feb 17 They said there was "no evidence" of brain injury, and I was not given instructions to follow-up with my Dr.

I understand what this guy is talking about. I feel the same way! I'm not sure when I got my first head injury. The first time I can put my finger on was when I was 4 yrs old. All I remember is waking up in a what I thought at the time was a space ship! But now I know it was just my a CT scan. Since then I have taken many blows to the head.

On Dec. I went unconscious for last time. On Dec 28th I started remembering my life up to that point this whole time other people didn't know anything was wrong with me unless I told them. Sometimes I feel almost back to normal then something changes and I get all mixed up again.

My eyes and ears start going in and out and my body goes numb. I have learned to cope with it by wearing sunglasses and playing music in my ears.

The music also helps me keep time. Although I'm learning to deal with my lasting side effects I sometimes get discouraged because I'm missing out on life! I have a lot to live for even though it is hard to remember that sometimes. I write a lot and take a lot of pictures so I can remember, and I have learned not to focus on negative things that way when I get down I can look back on memories that remind me why I have to keep going!

I know the feeling. Former Army Soldier. I broke my neck in January last year for the second time. I walked away didn't know anything was wrong for hours. I hit my head so hard I dented my skull. One year later still having trouble and my headphones still hurt! Memory everything. I have had multiple concussions over the years from playing too hard, motorcycle racing, street racing accidents, stock car racing, figure 8 racing and just forgetting I have a head on my shoulders.

I seem to hit it a lot. I have had 3 concussions just in the last year. Jan ran into a support beam in a basement. I got hit hard in turn 1 at a track. Don't remember that but I saw photos of the car. Two days later I got dizzy and fell into my truck.

Once again my head did not make it in. Bled like a pig. I've noticed a change about half way through the year. I'm 57 now. Always been forgetful, now appears short term memory is gone. I'm at the point that I leave notes on my phone to tell me what day it is and what to do.

Can't concentrate, can't figure out problems, get lost while driving. Confused, headaches, dizzy, depressed. I get anxiety attacks. Hard to breath sometimes. I feel like I'm getting worse instead of better. Only had 1 violent episode but directed it on the dinning room chairs.

They wound up breaking a couple things in the living room. I'm suicidal, that's not new but think a lot more about it. Wife doesn't understand. May end in divorce. I feel I'm slipping away. I don't want dementia. I've seen it. I'm scared and no one understands what I go through on a daily basis. I hope you are okay. That sure is a lot for you to handle. If you've hung in there this far, I'm glad to hear it, but there are those of us who understand what you're going through and hope for the best for you.

What happened to me is nothing compared to your situation. I just fell and hit my head hard, but I seem to be okay now, five weeks later. I still worry, but I am a worrier. Again, hang in there, I wish you the best. I've had a few concussions too.

I think that you have a concussion and that you need to go to the doctor again. You may also some alternative healing such as MCKS Pranic Healing don't knock it till you try it - its a non touch modality and has had proven results in many aspects of healing Eating for the brain is very important especially when you are healing.

So what I am asking is that, is it ok to feel this way after head injury? I recieved a severe head injury in my home. I don't know how or when but I had so many other injuries my head injury seemed not important. After calling an ambulance and arriving at the hospital I was basically taken by the EMT's to the waiting room and dumped into a wheelchair.

I was totally treated so badly after arriving at the hospital I tried to leave. After waiting 3. After he ordered some test the Dr came back to tell me I had brain cancer and a broken wrist.

I was very confused but not so much that I believed I had braincancer. I was admitted to the Hospital and was told I needed to call my family.

My daughter wasn't speaking to me very much and I called her and she didn't seem to care. The nurse cam back and asked if I had gotten to call my daughter. I had but it was clear she wasn't coming and I felt so embarrassed that the hospital had to call her again.

I guess she convinced her to come then all my family came in. I was heart broken that I was told I had brain cancer and my only child didn't care enough to show up. I was taken to surgery and after the surgery I was told it was a brainbleed and they had stopped the bleeding. I went home after 3 days in the hospital. I was alone and scared because I was having a hard time doing everything. I learned very quickly who my friends were and how much I was loved.

The most important thing I learned is you can't depend on anyone but yourself. I know no matter what happens you have to get back up and believe in yourself. I never realized how many things I used to do without watching myself. I am more lucky than many. Now over 5 months and still head spinning and ringing in my left ears but doctor's don't give medicine what should I do? However my vision is still blurry and I get dizzy very easily if I move to fast. Should I go back to the hospital?

I've always thought there was something different about me ever since high school football where I got flat-backed after a helmet to helmet during a kickoff.

It was my first football play ever and I was really excited to hit someone. I gave and received hits for the next two years until I seriously injured my elbow and decided to quit. It may derive from the Latin word for time, tempus , according to a Dartmouth Medical School anatomy course : "The connection may be that with the passage of time, grey hairs appear here early on.

Or it may relate to the pulsations of the underlying superficial temporal artery, marking the time we have left here. It could also possibly hail from the Greek word temenos, meaning "place cut off," which would explain the idea of a temple of worship as well as that juncture of bones at the side of the head.

In Old English , tempel meant "any place regarded as occupied by divine presence," which might be code for the brain as the residence of consciousness or God. More likely it's related to the Greek pterion , which as you'll recall means "wing. Surgeon Gabriel Weston writes in The Guardian that skin cancers frequently turn up in this area from over exposure to the Sun, which makes for a challenging surgical procedure.

To get around the problem, Weston uses a special technique called a Wolfe graft. After cutting away the cancerous lesion, "I measure out a circle of equal size in the skin above the collar-bone where the skin is similar and remove it. Sometimes when you eat or drink something cold too quickly, you get brain freeze, which can feel like someone has taken knives to your temples.

Damage to the brain stem can be a life threatening injury. If the hit person loses consciousness and falls, they may hit their head on the ground or a piece of furniture. The sound will be something like two snooker balls colliding. This might result in a fractured skull. Once again their brain will bounce around in their skull, creating further trauma. Like any part of the body, when injured the brain swells. Swelling of the brain can cut off access to blood by squeezing shut the arteries and blood vessels that supply it.

After eight to 10 seconds without fresh blood to the brain, consciousness is lost. After four to six minutes without the oxygen the blood supplies, the brain begins to die. As the brain swells, pressure inside the skull increases. If the brain swells larger than the skull that holds it, it may begin to press outside of the skull into the nasal cavity, out of the ears and through any skull fractures.

Surgeons may have to drain fluid from around the brain or remove part of the skull to help ease the pressure of the swelling. Trauma to the brain may also cause a haemorrhage , or bleeding inside the skull or brain. Without immediate treatment, this condition is deadly, as is a hematoma, or blood clot, that forms from the escaping blood. The brain has limited ability to heal itself.
