PostConcussionMan,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

First, never trust the neuros who said "I have had neurologists tell me to go running and head a few soccer balls." He is completely clueless. When I was 15, I suffered subconcussive impacts from heading a soccer ball and developed a seizure disorder and serious cognitive struggles such that I dropped an entire grade point.

Nobody can predict how you will tolerate university. I suggest you start slow and be sure you understand how you learn under those stresses.

You should also start exercising slowly and increase your heart rate every two weeks or so. If the exercise causes head aches, reduce your heart rate target the next time. The goal is to exercise at a heart rate that is 10% below the heart rate that causes symptoms.

You don't say what symptoms you are having that will interfere with your success in school ? Can you help us understand your concerns ?
