This is one of the many abstracts I found in PubMed yesterday when I was looking up info regarding size of cyst and possibility of symptoms. You already have many of the symptoms noted now as part of post concussion syndrome is the dilemma so you would understandably be concerned.

As I've said earlier, I wonder if 2 concussions can actually affect the cyst and cause symptoms or not, whether that be hormonal changes or actual pressure or damage. I've not had time to hunt down more about that but I will if I can.

Symptomatic cysts vary in size from 7 mm to 45 mm, whereas asymptomatic cysts are usually less than 10 mm in diameter, although a relationship between the cyst size and the onset of symptoms has been proved to be irrelevant in many cases
