This is probably one of my biggest issues, as it keeps setting me back every time I drive on too rough of a road or hit a pothole or someone pats me on the back to hard.
Unfortunately the only solution that I found so far is to do everything you can to minimize whatever you think might set it off.
With time it seems to get better, but then something big will set it off and it's super sensitive again for a while.
I always thought that it has something to do with my neck, and going to an AO chiro seemed to help, but then it got set off again at some point, so not sure.
My neurotologist said it's due to the perilymph fistula in my ear and it gets aggravated from jolting/vibration.
I had a surgery recently to fix that and been pretty much stuck at home resting since then so not sure yet if it helped or not.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.
Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
