Don't wait! If you feel something is off get it checked out and take it easy....
In August I suffered my 6th recorded head injury by september I lost my job, my november I withdrew from school, since, all has gone down hill...
I "ignored" my symptoms, after so many head injuries (from soccer) I just brushed 'em off kept telling myself I'd be fine just a few more days but things kept getting worse. Now 11 months later imy symptoms have gotten a lot worse. So don't ignore it, don't brush it off and keep on pushing. Take a break and slow down. Let yourself rest before you keep going. I've hurt myself worse now because I didn't stop. I was told 3 weeks I'd be better yeah well that wasn't true....
Listen to your body and do only what you can without pushing yourself.
