Dazed......

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

It sounds like you did a number on your head. A few others have done similar things. Was it a sheet rock wall ?

First, you should add B-12, a B-50 Complex and D-3 to your supplements.

Regarding your jaw. It is not uncommon for PCS to cause jaw clenching. This can lead to TMJD. Your sleep disruptions could be related to these muscle tensions. Central Sleep Apnea can cause sleep disruptions and extreme tiredness during the day. CSA is when the brain stem fails to direct the diaphragm to take breaths until the O2 level has dropped too much. This can cause waking and other sleep disruptions.

And yes, I think you are dealing with PCS induced anxiety/depression. It is very common. Your rage with your father suggests you are a type to pile on stress.

Your health anxieties are common to PCS. You are highly unlikely to have any risk for the maladies you suggest. The PCS anxious mind does all of the wild wandering without any basis.

The key thing for you now is to reduce stress in any way possible. Your anxiety will take a little stress and magnify it greatly. Stress and anxiety are the biggest enemy of recovery from PCS.

So, get the quiet rest your brain needs. Your summer should be boring by 18-19 year old standards. Just enough activity to keep your blood flowing and intense boredom at bay. Screen time should be moderated seriously. Texting is a big source of anxiety. The anticipation and expectation of a response raises anxiety levels. One on one time with friends is far better that group conversations and activities. No alcohol or other intoxicants.

You may experience an even more severe set of symptoms as you cycle through the month. Females tend to struggle more with PCS and many thing this may part of the reason. Try to plan on a quieter existence during those times.

If you have access to a massage therapist to help you relax your body, it will be helpful. Be careful about any neck massage work. Neck work should be gentle.

My best to you.

Stay in touch. You will likely see improvements very slowly.
