curiousmind,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. I missed your original post the other day or I would have welcomed you then.

As Bud said, you symptoms are common. And, as you have recognized, every concussion is different. The feeling of being 'off' is common but means something different for many. Some have vision issues that strain their perception. Others struggle with sensory overload. Anxiety is very common and is easily triggered.

Trying to keep up with an mentally challenging workload can be a challenge.

I doubt the second fall did any damage but rather, just set you back in your recovery. If it was a concern for more serious injury, the most common symptoms would be intense headache and maybe difficulty getting thoughts together.

My recommendation is to try to moderate your mental challenges so your brain has a better chance to heal. If you know you have an intense day ahead, try to plan a light day before and after. It is difficult to do this with many jobs but delaying recovery can make you struggles last much longer than normal.

My best to you as you try to find ways to give your brain a break..
