Default What is second impact?

Hello all,

Just looking for information on how exactly second impact is defined. Last night I slipped on ice and fell, breaking my fall with my arm. I feel tenderness in the neck and in the left side of my face (headache, jaw sore, etc.). I did not hit my head, thank God. Today I am tired, really tired, and foggy brained. That could be due to some of the activities I did this weekend (a restaurant, a birthday party, super bowl party) combined with the fall. Or, it may be the fall all by itself if second impact syndrome could really be defined this way. I was feeling pretty good the days leading up to the weekend. Your opinion as to whether I've had a "second impact" or just too much stimulation.

Thanks,

VB

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.

Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
