I also just got a portable BP monitor and have a chest strap type HR monitor that I've been using for my workouts. Also got the SpO2 finger-type monitor so will be able to see if anything is out of the ordinary. After the dehydration theory failed, my doc is now blaming it on anxiety, which I don't really agree with since I've been dealing with anxiety/panic attacks for over three years now so I think I know what it feels like, besides I've been doing really well after quitting work in the last few months, if anything my anxiety is almost non-existent now.

I'm sure it's probably nothing to worry about, but so I was told after getting my concussion and made it worse by not taking it seriously, so now I'm not taking chances, or at least trying not to. Do you get the prolonged (several hours) events? Or just for a few seconds a day?

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months. March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again. Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work. Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens. |
