Georgia Baker, a professional cyclist, detailed her battle with a severe concussion that resulted from a training accident involving a car in Spain. After struggling for three months, she learned that her symptoms included not only nausea but also troubling vision issues. Despite being fit enough to race again, the experience highlighted the need for better understanding of concussions, particularly in relation to vision problems. Baker's insights emphasize ongoing developments in sports regarding concussion protocols and player health.
It took me about three months to get over the concussion... I couldn't race pretty much the last end of the season, so my last race was actually the Olympics.
It's one of those things where you take two steps forward, one step back, and then you're back and forth again, that's how I felt. It was a big head-knock.
But overall, it took me a long time to get over feeling nauseous. I'd go out training or on the ergo and I'd just feel really sick the whole time.
The eye and the brain part of it - that's a new thing... it's like a different symptom, it's not a common symptom, so we're learning a lot with that.
