Hello!

I'm new here and I have a question to all of you since you know so much about pcs and I don't..

I got my first concussion on oct 1st 2013, and I got a lot better in a few weeks. My second concussion happened on januari 21st of this year, but it was really a mild blow to the head but I had to go to the ER and I felt like crap. After a couple of weeks I felt quite good again, but on wednesday this week I decided to do some exercises, it's called TRE and you kind of shake out stress from your muscles, I guess my head did some shaking it shouldn't have and since then I have had constant nausea..I'm really worried, could I have damaged my brain by doing this? The nausea has gotten a little better today but it's still not gone, haven't thrown up or been dizzy or anything, just really tired and nauseaus. Reading is the worst, it makes me so nauseaus.. How long should I expect this to last, and is it advisable for me to go see a doctor, maybe even today?

Thanks for reading!

lunalu,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. It sounds like your brain has become sensitized to motion. This is very common. I doubt a doctor will have anything of value to offer to you. I suggest you rest your brain and body. Any quick neck and head movements should be avoided.

The reading is over-stimulating your brain. It should be limited until you are feeling better. Nobody can predict a time frame for your recovery so try to relax and get the quiet rest your brain needs. You also may benefit from icing your upper neck, especially if you are having any head aches. Read the vitamins sticky at the top. With 2 concussions, your brain will benefit from good brain nutrition.

Keep in touch. We are here to help.

My best to you.

Mark, thank you so much for answering my post! It really helped me stop worrying so much, and that will surely help my recovery!
