Post concussion syndrome...generally doesn't last past 1 year. If it does...it is time for a differential diagnosis.
if you are functioning well for the most part... then I encourage you to look up Post Trauma Vision Syndrome... vestibular dissonance first. These two... can account for a lot of delayed or recurrent symptoms. A behavioral optometrist or an orthoptist can help you with the first. A vestibular therapist (usually a physio or occupational therapist) can help you with the latter.
thirdly... consider upper cervical spine problems. dysfunctional TINY muscles of the neck...they too...can mimick the same symptoms as post concussion syndrome. (not just massage...not just chiropractic... a physiotherapist needs to help you with this assessment and treatment).
Hope this helps!

It's been three years and my heavy head comes and goes. Watching the movie "I AM", the producer indicated he had PCS and I noticed it paralleled my symptoms. A bit more studying and the symptoms are dead on. Heavy head, lack of sleep, depression, etc. In the movie he says nothing worked for him and the symptoms began to recede by themselves. If anyone else here has had similar experience and can shed light on any way to help, please let me know.
