Post Another concussion?!

I've had pcs for 5 months now and it has been getting a little bit better every day. But today I'm afraid that I've ruined all of my progress.

I was playing with my 4 year old brother, he was lying on the table (don't ask
And I wanted to tickle his tummy. He was suprised and accidentally hit my head with both of his fists. Now I know that a 4 year old doesn't have a lot of strength but I am still afraid that he gave me another concussion! Could one get a concussion from that??

I feel a little bit dizzy right now but I don't know if it's from the panic or if I've done some damage to my brain

Please can someone tell me if I can get a concussion from this ?? Should I even worry about it??
Thanks for your help

Not a concussion just an anxiety reaction. Your anxiety can be your worst enemy.

Thank you so much for your quick response mark!

You are probably right, I just worry too much. I was just scared because I have to be on a plane tomorrow for 12 hours and that would not be pleasant with another concussion

So thanks again

Take ear plugs or noise blocking ear buds or head phones.

Yes, anxiety can cause a myriad of symptoms.

So it can seem like its a concussion but it's not? how long should I expect the symptoms to last? And is it still save to go on a plane?
Sorry for all these questions you just seem to know a lot about this

My immediate reaction to this was if your 4 yr old brother gave you a concussion with his fists he should be groomed to be a pro boxer.. In all seriousness I believe you are sensitive to anything in the form of an impact touching your head. i feel that way sometimes too but its nothing serious.
