Thanks for your response.
My ears have popped after swallowing for as long as I could remember. Maybe even since.I was a kid??? It's never caused me any problems, so I haven't brought it up to a doctor. Did that start after the concussion?
Yeah im trippin out right now cuz our bodies NEED water to function. Hello??? Lol...Why on earth would WATER , of all things, cause my brain fog to increase. In fact, water is one of the solutions to brain fog.
To make things more confusing....my mouth was so dry from not drinking much water today, so I just drank another couple sips of warm water instead of cold or room temperature water and it made me feel better. I'm lost lolll.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
