Default 2 years post. Still some issues?

Hi

It's 2 years since I whacked the back of my head on a Berlin pavement and I feel I'm pretty much recovered. I suffered with really bad depersonalisation, mild tinnitus and noise sensitivity, fatigue, a bit of dizziness and I was struggling to not kill myself for many months. I'm not quite the same guy I was but in some respects the experience has done me a lot of good.

Anyway, I still have a problem with running or any activity that involves impact. I can do 75 pressups in one go and be absolutely fine but if I run down the street I'll start to get a mild headache and I'll feel a bit foggy, low and irritable. The headache will usually pass after 10 mins but the fogginess will often last a few hours. Obviously I'm not over exerting myself given that I have no problems with pressups and I don't see how jogging could ever be inflicting damage on my brain so I conclude that my brain/head has become somehow over-sensitive to impact following my injury.

Anyone else dealt with this? I'm wondering if I should try to push through, as this is how I have managed to get better in other areas.
