Default possible concussion?
This seems so wildly implausible but given that I'm experiencing pretty strong symptoms I thought I would check if someone could comment: stood up from a chair and my earbuds (that were in my ears at the time) caught on the chair bringing my head to an abrupt stop. Didn't experience any symptoms at first but several days later after doing some aerobic exercises started to feel some vestibular symptoms. Could I have caused a concussion here?

No. The exercises were likely the trigger.

thanks for the response Mark.

i thought that too but i have been exercising vigorously for about 2-3 months at this point.. why would i experience symptoms now?

logically how many G's could have been exerted on my head due to the sudden stopping?

The buds would have come apart before any substantial G forces were exerted.

If you have been exercising for some time, then it may have just been a random trigger of vestibular systems. Plenty of things can trigger vestibular issues besides a concussion.

Maybe the ear buds caused a brief negative pressure to your ears as they came out.

I experienced severe vertigo last night for absolutely no discernible reason. No changes to my routine. I have never experience that before.

The ear buds actually got stuck inside my ears so they didn't come out.

Do you think I should take it easy for a while before slowly resuming the exercise at a much lower level? If this was a concussion - I know it wasn't - how long do they suggest you rest before resuming some activity according to Buffalo protocol?

You don't have any level of symptoms that would fit the Buffalo protocol. No head ache. No cognitive or memory difficulties. Just a bit if balance.

I suggest you get on with your life and just move a bit slower if you feel off balance.
