I'm also very dizzy almost all the time and have fainted a few times. I'm finally seeing a neurologist next week, but would love to hear what other people have experienced or been diagnosed with along with their pcs

Concussion headaches are kind of like tension headaches in a way, I remember the constant pressure that came with these. I was dizzy also for a while, then got over it after getting prisms for my vision. Dizziness can also be helped through vestibular therapy, which a lot of people have used for dizziness on this message board.
Nerve symptoms are common with PCS. I made it through 98% recovered with an above average cognitive test, I returned back to a somewhat good recovery. However, I still had the nerve issues in the back of the head. Neuralgia was the main concern, I later on was treated with injections and physical therapy. However, a neurologist would be best to talk to about this as I am not a doctor. My neuro was great with my nerve symptoms.
Cheers,
