Concussion

[clid61]

Had a few in my time off bikes, however the worst was on Wednesday evening in the shower/wet room.slipped cracked my head on walls , crawled out and lay down couldn't walk , all day Thursday had to slide down stairs on arse and couldn't do anything without stumbling and being constantly dizzy . Long sleep last night bit dodgy this morning but fine now ish was a proper squeaky bum time any one else had this ? Thing is it was worse than any bike off I've had !!!

I'd get down to A&E and get checked out.

I'm OK but thanks anyway , I'm still in Marrakech if I don't feel right sunday morning when I land in blighty I'll go

Echo the above. If you've problems staying upright, there may be a bigger problem that you can't see.

Don't want to go, on our word, call 111 and see what they advise. I've hit my head too many times over the years.

Get it seen to. Bet it was the back of the head as well.

You might find you need medical clearance to fly.

You're at ground level now, the effects may really get bad higher up.

You're feeling okay, but head injuries can be odd things that way. Really, I admire you - but anybody in the know would absolutely tell you to get checked out. And they are in the know.

If you attempt to fly with a known head injury and have problems your insurance will be invalid and you will not be covered for any resulting get costs.

 

[classic33]

Go to the NHS site and ask the question there. 111 not being an option.

Do Not use dr. google.

That's good to hear but, in view of this:

If you attempt to fly with a known head injury and have problems your insurance will be invalid and you will not be covered for any resulting get costs.

Is there any chance you could visit the hospital in Marrakech?

That's part of your problem. Right now you're not that high above sea level. Flying back, you'll be at over 10,000 feet.
You say your not feeling right now.

 

[classic33]

How long will surface travel take, to get back home?

Thanks for your concern classic but I do feel OK now and will get seen to in blighty , I see where you're coming from re altitude , had many fellow BMXers smashed to bits flown home , I appreciate the concern I'll post when I get home

I know one or two downhill moutainbikers that delayed going home after an off.
