Oops, I did it again. Been there done that. Face planted yesterday skiing. I know it was a mild concussion with whiplash and a torn-up shoulder to go on the side.
Second Impact Syndrome is very dangerous but would show signs such as an extreme head ache and other extreme symptoms. Does not sound like you are at risk.
You likely need to learn some new movement habits. Making movements quickly tends to cause motor control confusion. It helps to stop one movement before starting another. For example: Walk up to the shelf. Stop. Then, even after taking a breath, reach for the item on the shelf. This is especially important if you need to look up or turn and twist. It is like part of our bodies are lagging behind the others. When we stop, we allow the rest of the body to catch up. Then, with all our motor functions present, we start the next movement.
I learned this after anesthesia from surgery. It left me with motor control all out of timing. Now, I do this stop one movement before starting the next out of habit. When I rush a movement, I tend to have a higher risk of messing up.
This is a life skill that will prevent lots of bumps and bruises.
Hope it helps.
My best to you.
