If you are concerned that you or someone else has a concussion you should get checked out properly at the A&E by a doctor. If you are concerned that you have a concussion don't drive, get someone else to drive you or call an ambulance.



Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

Being a skater, I have sustained many concussions, and know how to check for them.
Get someone to do memory tests for you, asking questions that you definately should know the answer to.
Then, look at something specific as directly as possible, such as the eyes of your friend. If you cannot loo, straight, you have a problem.
Then, try motor skills testing. First of all, typing wouldn't be very easy, but there are other things as well.
If you have any doubts, as previously stated, go ahead and get checked out.
Remember this though, VERY IMPORTANT: do NOT go to sleep under any circumstances until you get checked out. If the concussion is bad enough, it is possible for you to slip into a coma if you fall asleep.
