If you have a concussion, you should go to a quiet room with no noise, keep sunlight out and rest, rest, rest! Do not watch TV, listen to the radio or read and keep well away from computers and video games. It might just hopefully save you a lot of trouble in the weeks ahead if you do this, because it is possible to get some lingering symptoms from concussion. Do not do anything for the moment if possible, definately nothing strenuous, and certainly no exercise.
If you get migraines you should go to a darkened room and rest, avoiding stimulation. If you have noise and light sensitivity wear sunglasses and ear plugs. I found Imigran very helpful for migraine.
One question you should be asking is what meds are you going to be given if you have migraine. If you have questions write them down before meeting the neuro.
