Magpie76,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear you are struggling so.

You don't describe your concussion impact or say what diagnostics you have had so trying to find a way to explain your symptoms is difficult. I can take a few wild shots.

There are concussions where the bones in the sinus have fractured. This can even happen when the face or front of the head was not the impact zone. A CT Scan or MRI may image this. Have you been checked out by an ENT?

There are some conditions where the injury to the sinus causes pressure to build because the sinus gets inflamed and plugged. Again, an ENT may be worthwhile. Do anti-inflammatory meds make a difference?

This same area can be an impact area for the brain, either directly or contra coup (bounce back inside the skull).

Have you ever tried checking your blood pressure when this is happening? Elevated BP can be part of these symptoms.

It you are seeing a generic neuro, many of us would not be surprised that you leave the neuro baffled. A headache specialist may be better.

There are also some vision system issues that can cause problems. Behavioral optometrists may have an assessment system that can help.

Regarding relating your symptoms to the neuro, I think your description is about as good as it gets.

Please feel free to tell us more about your injury and treatments. We have heard everything.

My best to you.
