I am a 20 year old male. I am 5 10 and weigh 154 pounds, although I have lost weight since my accident. I don t have too much of a medical history, just some stitches and a heart problem that went away on its own. I got into a car accident in which I was T-boned in my door very hard. IT appeared that I escaped the accident with minor cuts, bruising, etc. But nothing showed up in x-rays. No scans were done. Now that I am back home, I have had little to no appetite, and have been extremely fatigued. Is this something I should be concerned about, or just part of the healing process?
Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your queryThis sounds like PTSD. This is post-traumatic stress disorder. Any accident is a shock to the mind, whether you register it consciously or not. The brain then takes its own time to heal. The idea would be good to have a scan, just to make sure that there is no intracranial damage. However, I am certain, scans will be ok. Just relax, if its PTSD, it will take its time and them you will be ok. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
