So, no continuous shaking your head to rock music or head shaking to check your heads tolerance.
Your anxiety about this is like making a startle response last for days. Try to relax and find something productive to think about.

Hey,
I know this is a post from a long time ago, don't know if you'll see this, but if you already had a concussion, is it easier to get like a second?
If so, considering I have a concussion now along with tense neck muscles which move really quickly, is it possible for me to worsen my concussion when I suddenly jerk my head back from getting startled? I feel like my tense neck muscles are stronger than my neck muscles were before.
Or would this just cause some symptoms due to my anxiety?
