J Byrne,
Anxiety can manifest many ways after a concussion. Real symptoms of fuzzy thinking and other cognitive issues can become a sort of subconscious habit. Something just does not feel right so, as the doc partially suggested, the subconscious mind replays the symptoms. Focusing on a small symptom can often make it a big symptom.
Is your feeling of 'off balance' just a thought issue or is it a balance on your feet issue ? They are entirely different symptoms and are treated differently.
When you say ' a very minor concussion,' what do you mean ? Was it diagnosed by a doc ? What happened and what were your immediate and near term symptoms ?
What did you do to help with recovery the first few weeks ?
Many think that because they did not lose consciousness, the concussion was minor. That is not true. Docs try to discount by saying, "Your impact was not intense enough to cause your symptoms"
What is a normal day like for you ? What are your work environment and duties like ?
Many of us need to reduce the sensory stimulation so our brains can focus better. When we do that, the fuzzy feeling becomes less. Our brains get fuzzy trying to sort through too much information.
There is good information in the Vitamins sticky at the top.
My best to you.
