I've never had them before and the only cause (for me) could be the bad discs in my neck. Migraine meds sometimes help my symptoms. If you are experiencing sensitivity to light and sound, vomiting and the headaches then it may be migraines and they may have been brought on by the trauma. Ask your doc for migraine meds and also buy some excedrin migraine, which can sometimes help if taken early on when you first notice symptoms. Also it helps to try and sleep off the symptoms and it sometimes helps to get a hot shower during an attack.
I will definitely ask about what medications might be helpful with my symptoms. I'm just hoping they don't have any extra side-effects!

In general, what is the difference between PCS and post-traumatic migraine? Is there a distinct characteristic that gives one away from the other?
