Beauty,

The neuro was wrong in not giving you some better direction. You need to scale back your exercise. Maybe a exercise bike will be less traumatic. You should get a blood pressure kit to check your BP and pulse. You need to keep both at 10 to 20% below your symptomatic levels. Exercising for strength building is not appropriate right now.

Your entire list of daily activities needs to be considered. Moderating your cognitive and sensory load will be to your benefit.

If you want, you can post a list of your daily activities and time spent in each activity. We can give you some observations as to whether you are pushing too hard.

The neuro was correct about just treating the head aches. There are very few treatment modalities or medications that work for Post Concussion Syndrome.

My best to you.
