Default Baby's head hit mine...now it's back!

Hi everyone!

Here's a little of my history:

Concussion #1: Ran into garage door with my head. Didn't ever feel 100% and then...

Concussion#2: Punched myself under my jaw after my hand slipped from my strap! Yes, that happened. Can you believe it??

I actually went to UPMC's program and had an amazing experience that got me back on track.

I still have these moments of worrying whether a bump caused another concussion, but for the most part can blow it off.

So, here's my current situation:

I was changing the baby's diaper on the floor and when I got up with the baby in my arms, the movement caused the baby's head to hit my jaw. I blew it off because I didn't feel anything right away. I also thought it was a minor hit, so no need to worry.

The next day, my neck was extremely sore and my eyes were really bothering me - couldn't do computer work or read. I've also had some sound sensitivity. Now, the eyes and the sounds sensitivity could have been caused by the previous week - too much reading and computer work. (I still have some lingering vision issues).

So I keep trying to blow it off, but the worse I feel the more anxious I get about it. :/ Would a five-pound hit from about six to eight inches away re-injure me?

Also, my neck was stiff as I was moving to get up from the floor, so I really don't think my head could have moved much at all upon impact. A concussion happens when the brain hits the skull, right?

Thanks so much in advance for your thoughts. Believe it or not, my anxiety about my PCS is MUCH, much better than it was. But I don't want to slide back into it, you know? It's miserable!
