Hi All,

Wanted to get others feedback to see if you may have had the same issues. I have had 4-5 mid grade to serious concussions in roughly a 3 year period due to playing baseball and rugby. I had a serious one in late 2015 that took roughly 9 months to get over as I kept trying to exercise and lift prior to full recovery.

Since 2016, every small knock to the head (always seems to be forehead), even those that wouldn't seem to cause enough force to cause a concussion give me a headache, visual issues, and brain fog (usually very sleepy for first 1-2 days too). Once I get over the symptoms, I can run, jump, do exercises that would seem to put more force on my head than any small bump, but when another small bump occurs, I have prolonged symptoms again.

My last case was a tiny bump to the forehead over a week ago. I have been dizzy since and went for a long walk yesterday because I was feeling better and now I am so dizzy I can stand up.

So to sum up, I have 2 questions:

1. Do others have issues from extremely small knocks to the head, or is this some sort of hypochondria?
2. To follow on the above, why would even light exercise make me feel awful if such knocks were minor? Also, I seem to feel fine after excercise but my symptoms come on the next day, is this the same for everyone else?
