Default When is it really PCS?

Hello everyone.

My name is Anne and I am 17 yrs old. On Thursday, I went to the ER for bumping my head on the ground while playing volleyball w some friends. Loss consciousness for a minute or so and woke up confused.

In the ER The doctor diagnosed me with a concussion and my CT scan came back "normal".. went home a few hours later. The doctor gave me a note excusing me from my summer school class for a week.

My symptoms are not going away.. STILL. I'm having stupid memory problems, an awful headache... ironically, i CANT sleep... and I am just crying, all the time. The doctor put me on tylenol with codeine. Which helps the headache, but I feel nauseated.. like all the time.

I've been reading about PCS, and i'm wondering how long it needs to be before I might have PCS? My Dad just keeps following me around asking "what's wrong with me".

Can anyone help me?
