<s>[INST] I am a 50 year woman. i fell and got a concussion with no brain bleed(2 ct scans) still having headaches ,was put on deepakote and adjusting dosage...still losing words and feel not 100 percent me again...momentsof frustrations and bad mood....q1 will i ever recover and q2 can having previous head injuries that were probably concusions but undiagnosed prolong length it takes to recover? [/INST] Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.I can understand your concern. It is good that there was no blood clot in brain. Now coming to your first question, recovery from concussion always occurs. Sometimes it may take few days to months ( in case of multiple concussion). Regarding you second question, yes it is true that it takes more time to recover in case of past history of multiple episodes of concussion. But do not worry. For relief, you should: take bed rest: take diclofenac sodium for pain relief after proper prescription: take mood stabiliser like escitalopram after proper prescription: Try avoiding any head injury: avoid mental and physical stressThanks. Hope it will help you. Take care. </s>
