I am approaching 8 months of post concussion syndrome. I am slowly starting to heal again, but i definitely still have some time left to recover. Aside from resting, I started vestibular and occupational therapy two weeks ago and it is going pretty well. The only thing i am really struggling with now is anxiety. From what I have heard, anxiety makes post concussion syndrome worse. I have had anxiety and hypochondria my whole life and it is certainly starting to kick in again now.

For example, ten years ago I got the stomach flu and for no apparent reason I got this obsession with throwing up. I convinced myself that i had a stomach flu for three years and i got a CT scan and my stomach was completely fine. However, psychologically i couldn't get the obsession out of my head. I am over it now though haha.

Anyway, do deep breathing exercises and meditation help get rid of the anxiety I am having with the PCS and will it help me recover?
