Is it pcs or something else?
I need your help!!
I suffered a concussion (according to my doctor) when I hit my head against the ceiling of my basement. I don't know whether I had a concussion or not. I did not loose consciousness and I didn't feel lightheaded. I started feeling weird about 4 hours later while eating dinner. The weird feeling went away after 5 minutes. (I was feeling lightheaded, like I was going to pass out, but no nausea etc) The next morning I had a slight headache but felt good otherwise. No memory loss no light sensitivity, etc. After exactly a week I started feeling really dizzy. I felt like the world was spinning. the dizziness lasted for about a week and after that no headache, no dizziness, nothing. Another week later I started feeling dizzy again but it was not like the week before. Just a weird feeling in my head (I don't know how to explain it :( Now about 4 months later I am still experiencing these symptoms: Dizziness, slight headache from time to time, neck pain All of my symptoms get better when I standup and walk around, talk to my friends/ family, or play soccer or basketball. My question is is it possible that I am suffering from pcs or should I get my neck checked out?? Thank you in advance for any help :hug: |
Your symptoms are consistent with PCS; the fact that there was no loss of consciousness doesn't mean anything, many if not most concussions don't cause loss of consciousness.
Consider a visit with a physiatrist (often listed under physical medicine & rehabilitation) that works with TBI patients. They could also advise on your neck issues. |
First of all thanks for your answer!
I am just confused because I always thought that symptoms would get worse while exercising? :confused: |
Every TBI is different. If you want to exercise start slow and monitor for increase in symptoms. This is a good question for a physiatrist.
