PCS, running and eustachian tube dysfunction
 
Question,

If anyone read my last post I am at stage in not knowing if my clogged ears and airplane feeling are post concussion syndrome or eustachian tube dysfunction. Like I said, my doctor said my ears looked fine, but I had a lot of post nasal drip and my nostrils were completely clogged.

Anyway, onto my question. I just started a valet parking job. I enjoy it because it's easy and good money. I wanted to know though, if running with PCS causes brain damage. Even though my doctor did say my PCS is gone and I don't believe him i just wanted to know. Whenever I run, the ear plugging and airplane feeling gets worse and i get somewhat foggy but not that bad at all. I don't get headaches or feel more tired afterwards. I also feel like when I am running my brain is just floating around up there and just knocking around my skull. Either i am paying to much attention to it and it is normal or this isn't normal. Any thoughts?

I think you are obsessing. When you run, just run softly to minimize the impacts transmitted to your head. The exercise will oxygenate your brain in a beneficial way.
