This bump I experienced was not even close to be similar to a punch from a boxer. Maybe others also can benefit from that analogy.
But I worry that the bump gave me a whiplash, because I made a sudden "wreck" to the right with my neck when I hit the porthole. And before I can tell myself that this is just anxiety and some kind of learned response I have to rule out a whiplash-injury. So any thoughts abouth whether this kind os accident can constitute a new whiplash/neck injury or whether it "only" aggravated my old whiplash injury?
I am very concerned bacause three years ago I got a "real" whiplash in my car, and it took over a year before I could read again! And now my neck and shoulders are tightened up, I have small scale headache and all the other symptoms you probably also know have emerged.
Thanks for reading.

Hi there,
How are you doing now?
I also experience these situations where I cannot tell if its a concussion or anxiety. I have had 4 -5 real concussions since Jan 2009 and its been quite some struggle. Usually it has been gone after 2 to maybe 3 months, but the last one I got in April lasted until now. A real struggle.
