What is your rest/activity level like? Does work aggravate your head? Do you have to take pain pills to get through the day?

I'm actually doing really well. my new job have no headaches and can function for the day. I sometimes take small 1 or 2 min breaks to close my eyes but have no need to take pills.

This last knock set me back tho. For the last 3 days I havn't been quite right. Just slightly light headed and dizzy as well as pressure in my head.

I know it was only a duvet hitting my head but it honestly felt like a punch to the forehead in a way.

Usually when I have flare ups they go away the next day after a good sleep.

I had this flare up on Thursday and it is still here on Saturday.

Could being hit with a duvet theoretically give a concussion in someone who is suspetible? Like lets say you took a bunch of it and wacked someone over the head with it.

COuld that technically give a concussion? It wasn't quite that hard as I was lying down in bed and was on my pillow I just someone ripped the duvet up and it was bunched up and it flicked over and smacked me in the forehead.

Glad you're doing well. Take a double dose of curcumin and omega 3 DHA immediately after the incident to minimize the flare up.

But trying to analyze an impact to determine whether it caused an injury is futile. Just take it easy for a day or two to allow the flare up to subside. You would do the same if it was an actual injury, so that's why you shouldn't over-analyze the incident.

I suggest if you think you need to analyze a head bump, instead, analyze your distant past. Would you have ever been concerned about a Duvet slapping your head 5 years ago? Would it have caused you to react 5 years ago.

5 years ago should be your truth, not some anxious online question.
