Steve2442,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Your experience is not uncommon. Your exercise to a 194 heart rate was likely the cause of such a relapse. I would not agree with anything this doctor has told you. He does not appear to have any knowledge based on the research of the past 10 years.

I suggest you may need a week or two or even more to see any return to where you were before this setback. From what you say, it sounds like you are in your early 40's. Concussion recovery after about 40 gets much tougher. Stress will make it even worse.

It would be worthwhile for you to read the Vitamins sticky at the top. It has a lot of good information.

Please feel free to ask us anything or tell us anything. We have heard it all.

My best to you.
