Every brain injury is different. Some heal spontaneously and quickly. Others drag on and on, and the person never seems to get back to quite the way they were before the injury.

Unfortunately, there is no way to predict when you will be "recovered," or exactly what "recovery" will look like for you.

That said, typical timelines for quicker recovery often include one month, three months, and six months. The more things you can do to help your brain heal, the quicker and more complete your recovery is likely to be.

When my daughter got her first concussion, we were told that symptoms could last up to six weeks (dizziness, nausea, ringing in her ears, headaches, concentration issues, etc.). Once the six weeks were up, then the official diagnosis of Post Concussive Syndrome was acquired with no defined standard time of recovery. You need to rest as much as possible and drink a ton of water so that your brain can heal. And be patient with yourself.
I hope you are feeling better very soon.
