Default Pretty new here, post concussion talk

Hey everyone, im Chris, 28 yr old,read these boards for a few months now and decided to register and post. So back in October I was playing soccer, and did a head ball a little weird on the outside right of my head extending my neck funny too. When I started running immediately after this in the game, my ear got a lot of pressure and I got dizzy. I stopped, took myself out and the dizzyness subsided within about a minute. So i tried again In the same game, ran and the same stuff happened. I was feeling off/not myself, had a few headaches (but I just chalked those up to stress and work) after the game/the weeks after but didn't really think of it as much. I did my usual workouts/worked, and although I'd feel funny (lightheaded/out of it)after workouts, and get sensory overload in stores like wegmans, I chalked it up to being under the weather. Then February hit, and things really went downhill, but it seemed like it was like a snap of the finger for the really bad symptoms to set in. Light and sound sensitivity, tinnitus on and off extreme sensitivity to motion ( computers, tv, scrolling scrolling on a phone) which kicks up the tinnitus and I couldn't make it through a day of work on a computer without disorientation/vomiting multiple times a day. Nothing to my knowledge happened in February (like a second head hit) Now hard to function, I cant drive, I'm off of work and dont know if I'll be able to go back, and can barely watch tv or use a device without getting nauseated from motion etc. I'm back at my parents (was on my own with my own house) and hard to do much but couch sit without getting dizzy/nauseated. Just looking for some hope here, and to see if anyone has had the sudden onset of motion sensitivity issues that I have had

Thx all

Hammet89,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

What diagnostics have you had? You need a thorough assessment by a specialist, not just a GP/PCP. Maybe a concussion clinic. Most high schools and colleges know where the good concussion clinics are.

An assessment by an ENT affiliated with a balance clinic may be worthwhile. You may have injured your inner ear.

There are a myriad of reasons why you could have been triggered into more severe symptoms. Alcohol, a loud event, bad sleep, emotional stress, sleeping in a bad position, and anything that increases stress levels. You may have a subtle upper neck injury. They can be aggravated by posture or muscle straining (lifting weights or objects that cause muscle straining).

Be very aware of sleeping and resting posture. You should not be sleeping except during normal sleep hours. Get up at your regular time. This will keep your sleep cycle as it has been.

Let us know how you are doing.

My best to you.

Hey mark, thanks for the helpful hints. I was evaluated back in October by an ent when all of this started, but not since the symptoms have gotten worse in February. In may I'm off to a vestibular clinic at the university of Rochester in ny to be evaluated by a neuro otologist. I also live near buffalo ny, so I'm attempting to get into their concussion clinic that's pretty renowned I hear, hoping for some answers, just tough because it's hard to do anything at this point. Thanks for reaching out and I'll keep yall updated

H89,

When you are deep in the middle of PCS is does indeed seem that our worlds have collapsed, to never return. I too thought I was done with.

You will find what it takes to carry on through the valley and life will return to normal for you. Be patient and allow your body the time it will need to heal.
