There are also many triggers that can cause symptoms to manifest a week or longer after a concussion. Just about any stressful event or effort can cause symptoms to manifest.

Now, you need quiet rest. Read the sticky at the top under Vitamins. It has most all the start up toward recovery issues addressed.

You may need your upper neck evaluated. Upper cervical injuries can cause a myriad of concussion symptoms. To start, try to use good head and neck posture when sleeping or resting. Sleeping with a minimal pillow so your neck is straight is good. I curl my pillow so it holds my head from rolling to the side. If you must sleep on your side, make sure your pillow holds your head up. Ice your upper neck frequently.

This should be a good start for you.

Keep us informed so we can offer support.

My best to you.
Thank you I appreciate it. I will look for another neurologist. For the neck injuries you are talking about, do you usually feel pain or some discomfort? I'll mention it to my new neurologist but my neck seems okay and I have full movement without any issues.
