Exclamation Multiple Concussions

Hello, I'm writing this because my situation is somewhat unique and I want some type of answer as to what are the risks to my brain. I have had three concussions in the past 2 years. I am a dedicated athlete, with my main sport being cheerleading. My last 2 concussions were moderate/severe, with my last concussion having lingering symptoms over 4 months. I have recently started cheerleading again, and part of the sport is getting hit in the head. I have noticed since my last concussion every time I am hit in the head I immediately get a headache and an almost dazed feeling. I keep it to myself usually, but I was wondering why this is and how much risk I am putting myself in? I have recently started to get concussion symptoms.

I am trying to find info on multiple concussions online but I can't really find anything that matches my situation. I would go to a doctor but I am worried they will tell me I have to stop cheering.
