Default Why have my headaches returned?

Hello,

**
I developed POTS two and a half years ago. I got a concussion last fall (2014), and another early last winter (2014). I had six months of headaches and other symptoms.
I have since (for over five months) been headache free until last week, when someone headbutted me giving me a hug rather hard. I didn't expect any problems from it, but to my dismay my headaches have returned! I cannot read or use the computer without them, and my exhaustion is back, too.

I have three questions to ask of you intelligent, experienced people:
1. Why have my headaches returned when this didn't seem like a concussion?
2. Is this normal? Shouldn't I be healed by now from my concussions? Should I be doing what my doctors love to do and "blame it all on POTS," when I know from experience that these are PCS-like headaches?
3. How can I go to school/work like this? Will small blows always bring back headaches and tiredness for me, or will this sensitivity eventually go away and I will be "normal" again? ( I put normal in quotes because it's hard to be normal when you have POTS.)

THank you!
