Mark,

Thank you for the quick reply.

You are right about the CT, I think my doc wants to rule out anything more serious.

My neck is horrible. It has been a constant problem since my concussion. I always thought that it was whiplash and that I haven't let it heal properly by working out, etc. But it's been over two years and there are a lot of things I can't do because my neck will get incredibly stiff and cause really bad headaches. Is this something that you know about?

I actually put ice on my neck last night when I had a headache...it just felt instinctive that I needed to do that. Is that something that I should be doing regularly?

That is very interesting about the breathing and gut tightness...I have definitely noticed that. I try to take deep breaths when I notice this. Is there a sticky here on that as well that has more information? I will go read the vitamin sticky now.

Thanks again for the input, looking forward to hearing more.

Bas

The CT is not going to help unless you have serious head aches and /or a loss of motor control like a stroke would cause.

You do not want CT radiation on your brain if you can avoid it.

How's your neck, specifically your upper neck ?

Have you tried icing your upper neck and back of your head when you get a head ache ?

Have you read the vitamins sticky at the top of this forum ?

When you are out of breath, try to notice if you have been holding your gut tense and holding your breath. This can be a problem with PCS.

I have had a lot of struggle with breathing since my mTBI in 2001. Being aware of breathing can be a help.

My best to you.
