Default Welcome! Have you been examined by a doctor/emergency medical staff post concussion?
Here's Mayo Clinic's list of what to expect following concussion from their website:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/concussion/DS00320

Signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:

Headache or a feeling of pressure in the head
Temporary loss of consciousness
Confusion or feeling as if in a fog
Amnesia surrounding the traumatic event
Dizziness or "seeing stars"
Ringing in the ears
Nausea or vomiting
Slurred speech/Fatigue

Some symptoms of concussions may be immediate or delayed in onset by hours or days after injury:

Concentration and memory complaints
Irritability and other personality changes
Sensitivity to light and noise
Sleep disturbances
Psychological adjustment problems and depression
Disorders of taste and smell
+ + + + (end of article)

I added the red emphasis.

If you don't mind me saying so, please see a doctor/medical emergency staff if you haven't already. Then check the great forum Rae's linked you to & settle in wherever you're comfy.

Sure glad you're here! I look forward to getting to know you when you're feeling better. Keep asking questions!!
