Where did you learn that running is OK ? Any stressful exercise should be moderated.

Your current symptoms may be with you for a week or so.
You are right and i blame myself for not stopping. I did not stop because i did not associate the mild dizziness with the concussion -- i thought i was out of the waters already and that the dizziness could be due to watching the screen while running in the gym.

I have been very slowly increasing my running however, that is for sure, i restarted physical activity slowly and progressively.

Thanks
