Please take this post as being helpful....I was told to stop driving well over 9 years ago....I would feel awful if I made my bad situation worse to someone else...
Yes, completely understand where you are coming from. This is the first time I have had an episode like this while driving. Driving generally doesn't bother me. I was more seeing stars than blacking out. Although still alarming...

May 2013 - Motorcycle accident. Hit head falling off motorcycle at 80-100km/h after hitting a median and knocked unconscious. Taken to hospital via ambulance. Partial loss of vision on the way. Cleared of any internal injuries at via CT and released.

May 2013 - Early morning upon arriving back from hospital, I started uncontrollably shaking (not a seizure), more so shock related. Paramedics to home and back to hospital. Cleared again and sent home.

August 2013 - Feeling normal and 100% better, I started to engage in normal activities, including full time work with no symptoms. I fell unconscious in my home, striking my head and waking up in a pool of blood and vomiting profusely. Noticeable trauma to face and nose upon waking up. Very nauseous and taken back to hospital. Cleared of any 'visible' injuries aside from superficial. Nausea and light sensitivity were very noticeable, to the point where I could not view a computer, or even TV. Approx. 4 weeks after the fall, I started to experience daily and extreme symptoms of dizziness, faintness, lightheadedness, nausea, tinnitus, neck stiffness/pain that has been present ever since. Some days are better, others very bad.

Tests include:
  • CT x 2
  • MRI x 2
  • Neck x-ray
  • Vestibular assessment (noticed a very slight left eye nystagmus.
  • Physio for neck, jaw shoulders for 1.5 years (stopped in 2015)
  • Heart holter monitor (24 hour)
  • ECG
  • Vision test

All tests yield no results and left with PCS diagnosis.
