Its startin to get pretty bad. is it normal to experience pressure ONLY in that spot during PCS? Im not feeling an anxiety because im not worrying about anything, i still feel a little dizzy and my vision seems to be a bit off.
Have you had a CT or MRI done?

Did it show a sinus infection?

Do you/have you had problems with allergies?

I have the same type of pressure/feeling in the same areas you described. Its due to a sinus infection. Usually the pressure will subside if I drink a lot of water.

I couldn't tell you if its related to PCS...probably not?

I doubt its anything to worry about. You should see an ENT or your primary doctor about it.

Maybe someone else can shed some light on the subject....

Good luck.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
