DeanBJJ,

It appears you have been doing online reading about concussions. That has trained your mind to respond to events that you think might be a concussion. Your mind creates the sensations that support the idea you suffered a concussion.

One thing you likely did suffer is a neck injury. That screwed you up in many ways.

It takes 60 to 80 G to cause a concussion. You cannot impact the boot cover at a 60G level. It moves when you hit it.

It sounds like you are in the UK. This forum has decades of posts of people in the UK who struggled to get good concussion diagnosis and care. Headway is an organization that is focused on helping head injury people find help in the NHS system.

Yeah I've booked in to get my neck done in 1 weeks time.

Yeah I think part of the anxiety is researching way too much.

What about the boot lid coming down? Not me hitting it the lid was up and the wind caused it to basically shut on the back of my head. That was what screwed me up was that big metal boot coming down on the back of my head.

I'm booking in to see a neuropsych or someone similar as well to discuss my anxiety because it is definintely not helping.

The final straw came tonight because I realised I wasn't letting my partner touch me as much as I was so sensitive, so she tried to hug me in bed and her arm bumped the back of my head and then she pulled me in (which upset my neck too).

That set me off and I started feeling dizzy and nauseous and I think because I had s similar bump like that in BJJ which set me off and the doctors said "mild concussion," I started to believe that I now have another concussion as it was the same bump as last time.

That is not possible right that kind of bump to the back of the head even tho I am still recovering from an existing concussion?

I am definintely going to see someone about the anxiety tho.

There is NO treatment for the subtle neck injuries that are common in this situation. We must self-treat with changes in posture and behavior. It takes months for the upper neck to find stability after the ligaments have been stretched.

There is NO imaging either.

BBJ is the worst thing for an unstable neck.

Notice, I use the term Subtle Neck Injury. They are subtle because they do not manifest common neck injury symptoms. No stiffness. No pain. No loss of range of motion. No image abnormalities.

What subtle neck injuries do is get inflamed when stressed or aggravated causing changes in blood flow to the brain and nerve function.

UK/NHS will not have any idea about subtle neck injuries. There might be a chiropractor or physio who does. Upper Cervical chiros help some. Most therapies are too aggressive.

That is why I say we have to treat ourselves with discipline with posture, especially when sleeping when the neck muscles are relaxed.

I get my safest sleep in a recliner chair.
