Has anyone ever experienced this? I just got back from a neurology appt. and this was my diagnosis from the doctor.

Yes. I would get dizzyness and headaches from time to time because of it. Makes me kind of weary at work because of it because I don't want to take a dizzy spell on a ladder.

Yeah that's completely understandable. What are some treatment methods?

Re: Post Concussion Syndrome

I thought I had a concussion.
My doctor told me it was all in my head.

Re: Post Concussion Syndrome

I had this. It's not an easy thing to deal with. Biggest thing that comes out of it is probably depression (Ryan Freel, baseball player, recently committed suicide because of depression linked to his many concussions as an example), and the migraines don't help. Also, climbing/descending stairs can be a bit difficult, as your balance is thrown off and you get dizzy quite a bit, and it doesn't help your coordination.

This is just stuff I've heard of and experienced personally. I dunno how much you'll experience, hopefully very little. Good luck.

Sadly it's just time and rest. Over time the symptoms occur less frequently to the point where they become rare. Just try no to take any knocks to the noggin.

I have no clue honestly. I've been playing sports since I was 5 so I'm sure I have had a few.

It got even worse when I was pushed off a barstool on 12/6, requiring 3 staples in my head. Have to get an MRI done on Friday.

Re: Post Concussion Syndrome

Post-concussion syndrome is a set of symptoms that may continue for weeks, months, or occasionally a year or more after a mild form of brain injury.

Re: Post Concussion Syndrome

I had a grade 2 concussion about six years ago now. The next month was tough to drive, turn my head fast, look in sunlight, etc. I can't explain the feeling, but it always felt like "blood leakage out of my head" when I had it. This lightheaded, ticklish feeling. I didn't like it at all. That must be what I had as well.

Had my MRI on Friday, won't see the results until Thursday. Luckily I have a ton of stuff to keep me entertained.
