Default Post Concussion and Unsteady floor feeling

hello everyone,

this is my first thread in a while because I have been doing much better. My anxiety has decreased significantly and i got discharged from vestibular and occupational therapy 5 days ago. However, one of the reasons I am posting this is because something happened to me on Saturday.

I was helping my aunt move into her new house and we were putting her bed frame down. We put together the frame and then we laid down those things that you put beneath beds (i think theyre called mattress supporters or whatever...it was a single bed mattress spring.) Well, I was bending down under the mattress supporter and my aunt was holding it about 4 inches over my head and dropped it by accident. it knocked me on top of the head and it freaked me out ALOT. I didn't get a headache, and it really didn't do a whole lot to me except startle me and have me freak out a little. So I don't think it re concussed me.

Anyway, the reason I named this Unsteady floor feeling is because it seems that since I have stopped the rehab, the unsteady floor feeling I used to experience has come back. it's not so much dizziness, it just feels like I am walking on a boat. My vestibular therapist says that she doesn't know if she can do a whole lot for it because she has never heard of that complaint before and she isn't even 100% that it is concussion related. I have terrible seasonal allergies which cause my nose to stuff up alot and she believes either A. This is the reason or B. I took a cruise last summer that had a lot of rockiness to it (while I had a concussion). Also there is that slight chance it is anxiety but I dont believe it is. So, does anyone have any similar experiences or ideas about what's going on?
