Hello.
Is it possible for PCS symptoms to be brought on years after multiple concussions?

I haven't had a concussion that I know of in years, yet (with everything I have been reading) I seem to be having multiple symptoms that are associated with PCS (headaches dizziness, fatigue, irritable) showing themselves since I have been blessed with my children. It scares me that they might learn some really bad habits from my problem.

I really don't want to be on drugs and I have read that accupuncture could help some of these symptoms.

Anything helps. Thanks.

So sorry to hear of your suffering. Sounds like you want to read up on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Prayers and goodwishes.

Footballer,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You have found a good place.

Yes, it is very common for Post Concussion Symptoms to manifest years after the last concussion. There are many different triggers that can bring symptoms on. Stress of any kind is the most common trigger. Plus, there is always the possibility of sub-concussive impacts. These are impacts or even just jostled of the head that cause symptoms because the brain has become sensitized over the years.

Please introduce yourself and tell us more about your concussion history, sports history, current life and activities, hobbies, and any other information about your life.

You will be surprised the kind things that can cause a return of symptoms.

My best to you.
