Hi 3Mommy,
My son is also experiencing the same problems as your son. Stomach issues, sleeping problems, crying, depression, irritability ... the list goes on and on. He is headache free and has been for a few days now. But this has happened before and the headaches have returned. My son is 6 weeks post concussion.
They say the stomach is not related to the concussion but I have been researching and found that there are a lot of post concussive patients who have complained of stomach issues. It seems to be a common complaint.
My son was on Aleve for the headaches and that caused him to double over in stomach pains. He was taken off it and put back on only to have the same thing happen. He is currently been free of all medications for 48 hours to see how he does.
How long has your son been post concussive? How did he get the concussion?
