Concussions typically have no long lasting effects other than the loss of consciousness for several seconds or minutes after the trauma. Moderate to severe TBI, on the other hand, usually results in major damage to the brain. People who suffer severe forms of brain injury tend to experience symptoms such as vomiting, inability to sleep, migraines, altered behaviors, pupil dilations, nausea, and seizures.
