Should I listen to my Docter
 
It's been 10 weeks since I had concussion. Loc 90sec,amnesia,nausea
And pcs.

Yesterday I went for my check up and my Docter said i should go back to work now. He thinks im fine and eventually will get better.

He suggested me to start doing some light cardio.
For the first time I went for the walk today for like 10mins and I feel like pressuer in my head. Everytime i do anything physical I feel the pressuer. Anyone knows why ??

I'm so not ready for work. I still gets headeches.
What do u guys think I should do ??

Do not go back to work if you cannot even handle a light walk. GEt a new doctor, one who understands PCS!

I agree.

Also, (well, in my opinion, it could be wrong tho,) I would wait on the "light cardio" until you can walk longer successfully. It has been since Jan 2012 for me, and I still have issues with walks, so just start with maybe 5 minutes and see if you go symptom free, when you are ready again of course.

Good luck to you!:hug:

I would also caution against doing things that cause pain or exacerbate symptoms. I am more than 10 months in and I started very light workouts only a month or two ago. I still don't feel 100% when I'm working out, but I don't have a splitting headache when I do light exercise. Take it slow and don't push yourself. This is not like rehabbing a surgical procedure.
