Thumbs up Post concussion syndrome advice HELP

Good morning from the UK

I am a 26 year old male usually fit and well until November 15 last year I had a bump to the head I lifted up from bending down and hit the top of my head on a steel plate around 40mm thick I was wearing a hood so that softened the blow it didn't cut and I wasn't knocked out I was slightly dazed after the knock but felt OK,for around 3 days after I felt really weird not myself so I had a drive to the emergency department at my local hospital to check if everything was OK it was the doctor was very nice she explained that the knock wasn't anything serious I would be better in a few days. I took the information on board and went back to work the next day (I am a structural steel welder by the way) I still felt funny when I went back to work o had a pressure feeling just Infront of were I hit my head sometimes it throbbed other times it was just there if I make any contact with my face it feels worse I have had headaches here and there also along with dizziness. Anyway worked up until Sunday were I had abit of a funny turn I had a panic attack really bad which forced me to the hospital I have a slight history with Aniexty nothing too major though they performed a ct scan it came back clear and the told me I could have PCS. Since then I have been off work not tremdously poorly but not myself at all my symptoms faded over Christmas so j went back to work last week I managed 3 days before having to come home I've been off again since I am so tired all the time and dizzy I don't feel like myself I keep having panic attacks I have been to the doctors 8 times in the past 3 weeks I feel really down my partner is getting stressed because of money and me not being at work I am worried that I will get the sack I no there is no magic pill but will this get better and what can I do to manage the constant feelings? Any help would be appreciated

Kind regards

Hello BrendonD: Welcome to NeuroTalk! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

I don't know a lot about PCS other than that it can take quite a while to recover fully. There are other members, here on NT, who are more knowledgeable than I. Hopefully some of them will see your post & reply. However, you might also consider re-posting this in the traumatic brain injury & concussion form:

Good luck!

I feel the same exact way. It has been two months since I was in a car accident. The dizziness and headaches were calming down, but now they are getting worse again. I feel like people don't believe me anymore.

I've had it for 7 years. It's really really hard to explain this to people. It just seems like this is a disease without a name so people don't believe it exists even though there's been widespread media coverage lately. it's harder when health system tells you there's very little they can do to help you.
