When someone plays multiple sports in High School and College, it is difficult to track injuries sustained in play. This was the case for 17 year Rowan Stringer in Ottawa, Canada who passed away from "second impact syndrome" four days after she hit her head during a rugby game. Second Impact Syndrome is a rare condition in which a second concussion occurs before the first concussion has properly healed. It is crucial for you or a loved one to monitor for symptoms for at least 24 hours if you suspect that you've had a concussion. Symptoms may include but are not limited to:
- Feeling slowed down
- Unable to concentrate
- Unable to remember new information
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Having no energy
- Sleeping problems
