BlueEggs,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

You did not suffer a concussion from the baby's head hitting your jaw. A baby's head/skull is soft. It would absorb the force. Your jaw would leave a dent in the baby's head and still not be a concussion.

This sounds like pure anxiety. You are checking for symptoms. The power of suggestion with an anxious mind means you will notice symptoms. I call these memorized symptoms. They happened in the past from a real concussion so when you have a bump, it triggers checking for these symptoms. They manifest as sort of flashback symptoms. The brain replays the symptoms from the previous concussion. It can be a form of PTSD.

If you did not pay attention to the bump, you would not check for the symptom and everything would be fine.

Did UPMC offer therapy for dealing with the 'I bumped my head" anxiety ?
