welcome to neurotalk, you'll come to the right place. Here all of us have been or going through the same symptoms u r ur not alone!
First off u must find out why u r faiting there is a whole host of reasons, speak to ur gp asap and get the bottom of it u dont want to hit ur head again, as concussions become comulative, and take MUUUUUCH longer to recover from. ur symptoms r classic pcs. symptoms. U need to relax rest ur brain as much as possible, i know its boring, but all of here have had energetic lives before our injuries, but we need to rest and recover because the brain takes the LOOOOONGEST to heal. Try listening to relaxing music, meditation, relaxing in a warm pool or going for light nature walks. Eating healthy is important and talking supplements are also important, the vitamin regimen is posted at the top of this forum. try not to let
ur symptoms get the better of u i know its not easy, getting worried and worked up about it will make it that much harder to recover. Speak to ur gp about physio therapy, message and vestibular.
Ur injured so now its time to heal.

I fainted in May and hit the front of my head on a concrete floor sustaining a concussion. 3 weeks later, I fainted again and hit the back of my head on a window sill. Each time there were no warnings that I was about to faint.
I've lost my job because my FMLA has run out. I've seen cardiologist and neurologist and am scheduled to go to rehab specializing in post concussion syndrome.
I am taking Topamax for head pain (started yesterday) and Tramadol or tylenol for intermittent pain. I'm dizzy, nauseous, cranky, light and sound sensitive, have trouble with conversations and can't drive. I am pretty miserable.
I've been searching for a place to come and talk to other about their progression in healing from concussions and it looks like I've found it!
Other than staying locked in a dark, quiet room, have you found anything else that helps with the headaches? I think if I can just get the headaches to go away, I'll be able to work on everything else. I went from being a happy, joyous, outgoing person to a recluse. I want my life back. I am a young 60  !
