]]> 87258 2 0 Tip Identify the nearest hospital with a head trauma center.

]]> 87259 3 0 Step Look for subtler signs Look for subtler signs of brain injury, which include memory problems, confusion, distractedness, irritability, the inability to multitask, problems with taste or smell, and sensitivity to light or noise.

]]> 87260 4 0 Tip People over age 50 can take longer to develop symptoms, so be on alert for several months after a head injury.

]]> 87261 5 0 Step Ask some questions Ask the person who fell some simple questions, like, “Who are you?” “Where are you?” “What day is it?” and “Who is the president?” If they can’t answer any one of them, call an ambulance.

]]> 87262 6 0 Tip Being slow to answer questions is a warning sign as well.

]]> 87263 7 0 Step Beware of blood thinners Ask the fall victim if they are on a blood thinner, take aspirin daily for health reasons, or take fish oil supplements. All can increase the risk of brain bleeding.

]]> 87264 8 0 Step Get checked out Get a medical evaluation, even if everything seems fine; doctors don’t call delayed brain bleeding “talk and die” syndrome for nothing. Remember, even a gentle blow to the head can be deadly if it happens to strike the wrong spot.

]]> 87265 9 0 Fact Someone suffers a brain injury every 23 seconds in the United States.
