It is not uncommon for PCS symptoms to be delayed like yours are. Either way, you situation is the same. You have headaches. The rest will be good and avoiding head ache triggers is important. Limit caffeine to one serving per day. Try to keep you blood pressure down to safe normal limits.

A CT scan would be appropriate if your head aches get very intense.

Exercise is OK if you can avoid triggering symptoms. This means your limit in pulse rate should be lower that your exercise target from pre-PCS. It is likely that your exercise limit is quite low. Maybe just a brisk walk or some low intensity spinning.

If you start to sense any symptoms during your exercise, stop. Note the level of intensity and use it as a limit for the future. You want to stay below that limit with a good margin of error. If 120 bpm is the limit before symptoms, then stay below 110 bpm or even 100 bpm.


Hope this helps.

My best to you.
