It's not a brain hemorrage. The nervous system is complex. The concussion
could be throwing your tear ducts out of wack for some reason.
The best thing to do is mild aerobic activity. like walking. Don't do anything
really strenuous for a while would be my advice. You could bring symptoms
back full bore if you exercise to hard. I've had 6 concussions in about 5
years. Last one was a year and a half ago. Stay away from anything that
slows down the brain for a while. That includes alcohol, benzodiazapines,
benadryl, sleeping pills....etc. They all would bring my symptoms back a bit
and slowed down the healing process. When I started walking I would be able
to feel things start get back to normal within a couple weeks. You definitely
want to stay the heck away from boxing for a while. And if you ever decide
to go back make sure you work out your neck. They have evidence now that
a strong neck acts as a shock absorber for head impacts. I've always had a skinnier neck....go figure
