Confused Speed Bumps and PCS (Reality Check Needed)

Hello, everyone. New to the forum, and this is my first post. A brief background on my history of concussions...

First concussion back in 2016 after hitting my forehead very hard on a tower fan while bending down in the dark (stupid move, I know). GP diagnosed me with concussion. Second one in August of 2018 after hitting the top of my head on the roll up door of a moving van. Third one in January of this year after hitting the top of my head very hard on a windowsill while shifting positions on bed. Doc also diagnosed me with a concussion. Most recent one about 3 weeks ago after hitting the top of my head against the wood frame of my couch (and this after hitting the back of my head very hard on a metal frame while shopping at Costco a week prior).

Was starting to feeling something resembling normal when today I foolishly went over a speed bump too fast. Now my head is reeling and my anxiety is through the roof. Hurts to look up, bend down, etc. As someone who often goes to the worst case scenario in these situations, I’m concerned I’ve once again given myself a concussion. These repeated head blows, especially so close in proximity, can’t be good. Immediately felt intense cranial/sinus pressure commonly felt after my prior concussions.

Trying not to worry, but it isn’t easy. Is it possible to aggravate/get a concussion from going over a sharp speed bump too fast, especially while recovering from a recent concussion? The jolt was pretty intense.

Reality check needed...
