Default repeat concussions

Hi there,
I got knocked out a week ago playing soccer, told i had concussion and told not to do anything that would put me at risk of hitting my head again for 4 weeks. I have had all the 'normal' concussion symptoms, headache, dizziness, fatigue, nauseousness etc but am worried about how long they will last this time. This is the 5th time I have been concussed and im only 20, so the doctors not too happy with me. The thing is they don't really explain the effects or consequences of repeated concussions, so wondering if anyone else has any info. 4 years ago I had a pretty bad knock to the head and had post concussion syndrome for about 1 1/2 years after and im worried that could happen again. At the moment i am really tired always, have frequent headaches, can't concentrate very well and get really annoyed easily...all the while im trying to continue living life!
any info or similar experiences greatly appreciated,
thanks
