Last night, I went to bed and tried to sleep. I felt uncomfortable, so I tried to adjust my position when I suddenly (and by accident) rose my head off the pillow and smashed it quickly back into the pillow (I rose a little bit to get comfortable and accidentally landed very quickly with my head in the pillow, which caused my head to get hit by the pillow).
I calmed down very soon after and avoided running into anxiety, so I easily fell asleep a few minutes later. But today, when I woke up in the morning, I felt very confused and had a brain fog which I remember only having in the first month after my concussion (I'm now 3 months after my concussion). I'm anxious about it now because it is a symptom I haven't felt in a long time. I'm afraid that the hit I got in the head from landing it too quickly on the pillow caused a sub-concussive impact, or even a small concussion (my symptoms returned a lot before my anxiety started today). By the way, it's not that my symptoms completely disappeared before that hit last night. I made a significant progress (at least I feel like that) since my concussion, but last night after getting hit in my head, my symptoms got much worse. I'm afraid I got another impact that can reduce my chances to heal as better as possible and extend my recovery time. What do you think? Does that count as a sub-concussive impact? I feel today much worse than yesterday and the last few days (I have good days and bad days, but right now I'm feeling worse than what I usually do on a bad day), and therefore I am very worried about this. Thanks, -ProAgonist
