Default Post concussion syndrome recovery time

It has been almost 6 months since I forcefully walked into a tree. I didn't lose consciousness, but post concussion symptoms appeared about 7 days after. I continued to exercise about 4 times a week before the symptoms began, and about twice week afterwards. I was suffering from strong tension headaches, mild nausea, and trouble remembering only one thing - the name of the last show or movie I watched before going to sleep.
The nausea is now gone, and the symptoms have never worsened, but only improved. I use to exercise 4 times a week, down to once a week, and now only once every 2 weeks for the past 3 months. However, the symptoms still only appear after I exercise. The insomnia always and only begins the night after I exercise, and headaches last for about a week. Then I feel good, so I exercise a week later, and although they are not as strong as they once were, I'm still having these symptoms and it has been almost 6 months!!!
I know that blood pressure and heart rate should be closely monitored, but can you give me any useful advice or insight to my condition?
Thank you
