I would never go to that doctor again. She is not only ignorant but borders on negligent. If she has not even a clue about concussion, how many other medical issues is she ignorant of?

I would go ahead and get the CT if you feel a need to rule out anything else but the odds are very great that the CT will be completely normal.

An EKG just shows the pulse and how well the heart works during each heart beat. The strong heart beat would not necessarily be an indicator of anything if the heart muscle is beating properly. The anxiety will increase your blood pressure so that you may feel like your head wants to pop off your neck.

You may want to arm yourself with some sound understanding of concussion so you can avoid doctors who are ignorant of concussion. They are everywhere. Yours is just at the top of the heap.

Here is a link to some concussion myths and facts. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0329170220.htm
