A road accident can leave you feeling shaken, but even if injuries seem minor, hidden internal damage can be life-threatening if ignored. At New Jewar Hospital and Trauma Centre, Greater Noida, we always stress: if in doubt, get checked out.
Here are five warning signs after an accident that you should never ignore:
1. Persistent Headache or Dizziness
Head injuries are common after accidents, even without visible wounds. Symptoms like headache, confusion, or dizziness could signal:
- Concussion
- Brain hemorrhage
- Skull fractures
Seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out serious brain injuries.
2. Abdominal Pain or Swelling
Internal bleeding in the abdomen might not show obvious signs initially. However, if you experience:
- Stomach pain
- Tenderness
- Swelling
it could indicate organ damage or internal hemorrhage, requiring urgent treatment.
3. Difficulty Breathing or Chest Pain
If you have trouble breathing, sharp chest pains, or feel tightness, it might point to:
- Broken ribs
- Lung injury (pneumothorax)
- Cardiac trauma
Chest injuries can worsen fast, so never delay seeking emergency care.
4. Numbness, Weakness, or Tingling
These could be signs of:
- Spinal cord injury
- Nerve damage
- Herniated discs
Spinal injuries may worsen if untreated, possibly leading to permanent disability.
5. Unusual Behavioral Changes
If someone acts confused, excessively sleepy, irritated, or unconscious after an accident, it could indicate:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Severe concussion
- Blood clots in the brain
Emergency evaluation is critical to prevent life-threatening consequences.
