Also it is well-known that some concussion symptoms can show up years later. Worth getting properly checked by a Specialist imo.

Please take into account the fact that NHS resources are limited. The number of appointments available with Neurologists are limited. The doctor is not in a position to hand out appointments to everyone that demands one. The doctor has to think of all his patients not just the one in front of her. If you refer for one patient you are taking away that appointment from another patient. The doctor knows that and it is important that the patient is also aware.
