Ash,

Thank you for your reply. Even though it might not be a sub-concussive impact, since that happened my symptoms got much worse. It's good to hear it's not a sub-concussive impact, but still, why did my symptoms return? It has been already 2 days and my symptoms are still much worse than they were a week ago.

I slept 9 hours that night and woke up very confused, which shouldn't happen.

It also happens every time I hit my head slightly. It also happened today when I walked on the street - I was walking quickly and looking down in my phone when I accidentally smashed my head into the leaves of a plant (they are pretty hard, not soft like most plants). That caused my symptoms to get a little bit worse, and I'm tired of it that every small bump on the head causes symptoms.

If by walking very quickly and smashing my head into the leaves of a plant didn't cause me a sub-concussive impact (same with the pillow), then why do my symptoms get so much worse? And do you experience it too?

12many,


Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I do notice that my symptoms return after minor impacts, which I'm not always sure if count as sub-concussive impacts or just small bumps to the head. It's really irritating, and I hope it goes away while I recover. Especially the hit I got to the head when I smashed it into a plant today when I was walking quickly... it worsened my symptoms at well (unfortunately, this plant has hard leaves, not nearly as soft as my pillow or something, so that caused many symptoms to get worse, such as headaches).
