Thank you! I do hope it's just the anxiety, but when anxiousness can't really tell so its almost driving me nuts.

Hufflepuff,

I don't think you had a concussion at all. I think you struggle with anxiety, especially health anxiety.

You have read about concussions prior to this head bump and have let your mind play back those memories of what you read as if they are real.

Serious anxiety can manifest with the same symptoms as a concussion.

This is what I call Concussion Anxiety Syndrome. You have read or heard about concussions and think a head bump is always a concussion.

Just my ideas but I do have 58 years experience with over 14 concussions in that time.

I don't really know how to get rid of that anxiety. I often feel the symptoms and then feel anxious, not the other way around. My biggest worries right now is the muscle jerks I had and when I will return to my previous energy levels

Welcome Huffflepuff.

You get rid of the anxiety by looking back to the times before you had that anxiety. You bumped your head just as often and never developed concussion symptoms. Then, you heard, watched, or read about concussions and the next time you bumped your head, your anxiety took over.

Did you see the movie 'Concussion'? Many people have developed Concussion Anxiety Syndrome after seeing that movie or having a coach teach a concussion awareness class to the team or some such exposure to the worries of a concussion.

Try to remember how you never developed concussion problems from those previous bumps. Why would you have problems now? It is remembered anxiety... Not true concussion symptoms.

Your brain plays the memorized symptoms. This is like PTSD flashbacks.

I get a short burst of symptoms when I watch somebody impact their head on TV.

What is the first symptom you sense when you have these events?

Emerging research shows that chronic low-grade brain inflammation is linked to our mental health and anxiety struggles, and that diet and nutrition can help reduce this inflammation. Brain inflammation also causes concussion symptoms. That's why people with a history of anxiety struggle with concussion symptoms.
