Default post concussion syndrome 4 months

- Hi,

My name is Peter. I have self-diagnosed Post Concussion Syndrome, going on 4 months. I am noticing an improvement in my symptoms but it is a very slow process. I am on here for support and to blog about my struggle with PCS. I believe it will also help with my recovery.
I was knocked unconscious 5 months ago. I did not have any concussion symptoms for a month following the injury so I went back to living a normal life almost straight away. A month after I developed a daily headache and then the other symptoms from there. The symptoms were the worst 3 months into PCS, but they have been subsiding very slowly, with relapses (days where they will be really bad, i.e. throbbing headache).
I have been to the doctor 6 or 7 times. Had a CT and blood work done (nothing abnormal showing). I am now seeing a chiropractor 3 times a week as my c1 and c2 are misaligned which may be contributing to my symptoms.

I am on here looking for advice and I want to know HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST, and what are some signs of improvement?

My symptoms are
-daily headache back of head all day
-anxiety
-headache from exertion
-high blood pressure
-neck pain
-Visual disturbances
- Sometimes tingling in extremities
-inability to concentrate
