DeanBJJ,

Your protocol is a big problem.

"SO firstly, I pretend I didn't notice and then I distract myself with some enjoyable task/hobby.

THEN, if I wake up the next day fine, I KNOW it wasn't a concussion.

My usual test is:

Day 0 - Bump my head - ok relax and see how I go
Day 1 - Do I feel fine this morning? If yes, then GREAT, if not move to Day 2.
Day 2 - DO I feel fine? If yes, great, if not move to Day 3.
Day 3 - Do I feel fine? If yes, YAY. If not, potential concussion and see a doctor.
"

DO NOT LOOK FOR SYMPTOMS. Your anxious mind will always find them.

STOP tracking head contacts.

Why would you go to a doctor at Day 3? What can a doctor do for you but confirm your SUBJECTIVE complaints. Only serious concussions can be objectively diagnosed.

There is no difference between the symptoms of a mild or even moderate concussion and anxiety symptoms.

If you did not get good sleep, you can think you had a concussion........when you just did not sleep good.
