Mark,
I see you have a lot of knowledge about anxiety responses from concussions. After two concussions I have this issue as well. Last night I was laying on my arm in bed and lift led my arm kind of fast bumping into my head. Every time something like this happens I get more symptoms and anxiety. I am trying to live by if it would not concern me before it shouldn’t now. Any advice for this? |

Hello, some of the reaction could be due to fight-or-flight response (also called hyper arousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.
some info - fight or flight response or anxiety - Google Search

Mouellette1,
"I am trying to live by if it would not concern me before it shouldn’t now." Bud's advice is good. Some need to practice desensitization/exposure training where they have purposeful touches to their head. Some need the help of a CBT, Cognitive Behavior Therapist, to help them learn new thoughts after a head contact.

Thanks! Yesterday I received a massage (I get them monthly) and she went a little too aggressively on my neck and head. I also received acupuncture today (get this monthly as well) and when the acupuncturist was wiping my temple he wiped it a bit hard. I know it’s not likely possibly that wiping my temple with a cloth would do any damage, but I know that is a sensitive area. It’s hard not to overthink these things

It sounds like you need to start with an understanding of the forces required to cause a concussion or even lesser damage.
The force to cause a concussion is similar to dropping a 16 pound bowling ball on your head from 1 foot above. The head contacts you mention don't even harm the skin layers.
