Hi everyone,

I've had PCS for three years with my last setback being about nine months ago. Since that point, I've been improving a lot. I attribute much of my improvement at this point in the recovery process to physical exercise, as I started with very light weightlifting about six months ago and then gradually moved up to full body exercise like pull-ups, swimming, and tennis. Overall, this exercise has caused me to feel a lot better physically, and for the last month I've been feeling like 98% to where I was before ever suffering a concussion.

However, two days ago I decided to try jogging as the next step in my physical activity, so I jogged for about a mile on a somewhat hilly terrain. After the workout and that night I felt really great, but when I woke up the following morning I had a very, very strong headache as well as blurry vision. It's been a couple days now, and those symptoms are still here, and I'm wondering if you all think that they may have been caused by anxiety, or if running was truly harmful to my brain. Like I said, physical activity has been the most helpful thing in my recovery, and I was an athlete before getting injured so it's a big part of my identity that I lost, so I'd really like to continue.

But anyway like I said, why do you think running brought on these symptoms? I've already spent time elevating my heart rate these past months and it doesn't bother me, and even though my head got jarred a bit going downhill it obviously wasn't enough force to make my brain connect with my skull (I don't think)

Thanks!!
