Understanding Concussion Symptoms
It is not uncommon for people to end up with a sore neck and maybe feel a little disoriented following a
concussion. Standard recovery from this ranges around the 2-3 week mark.
When Concussion Symptoms Become Post Concussive Syndrome
If you experience residual symptoms over that 3 week threshold you may be suffering from
post concussive syndrome. It is important that you have a proper examination done including balance, eye movements, gait, sensory, motor, reflex, vitals, blood work, etc. The more comprehensive the better.
DO NOT WAIT FOR THINGS TO RESOLVE. It is best to be proactive and not sit by and think things are just going to get better on their own.
Hidden Effects of a Concussion
Your Brain May Still Be Recovering
Even when you feel "pretty much normal" your brain, hormones, metabolism, immune system, circulation, mental state — some or all may have been impacted in an unhealthy way.
I can't tell you how many
post concussion syndrome patients learn to maneuver or try to just live with their residual symptoms.
Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore
Experiencing
headaches and migraines,
dizziness,
POTS, anxiety, light sensitivity, anger, depression, gut issues, fatigue, etc. on a regular basis is not living.
