WWW.HOMECAREPHYSICIANS.COM A Headbanger’s Headache! Dancing at a heavy-metal concert could be bad for your health. German doctors recently described the case of a 50-year-old man who came to the hospital after two weeks with a constant and worsening headache. His whole head hurt, but he had no history of head trauma, he denied substance use, and a neurological examination and blood tests were normal. A CT scan revealed a subdural hematoma — bleeding into the space between the fibrous membrane that covers the brain and the brain itself. Then he mentioned that four weeks before, he had attended a concert by the band Motörhead and engaged in a form of movement popular with heavy-metal fans: headbanging, which involves rapid shaking of the head in time to a song. Hearing loss at a Motörhead concert is certainly a greater risk than a brain bleed. See more:well.blogs.nytimes/2014/07/10/heavy-metal-hazard/
