Writing this 11 weeks after falling off a ladder only 6ft up, didn't bang head but whiplash likely.
Over the first 4 weeks suffered likely from concussion. Then predominant symptom is still and was feeling of passing out with various strengths of that sensation.
One focuses on PCS (post concussion syndrome) after a while as one is distracted. In my case I have and had no neck problems.
BUT!
I now feel it maybe a problem in my neck. Watch this space. It maybe that vertebral arteries were damaged in the fall causing lack of blood flow to the brain, mild though it maybe. So I am getting a scan done shortly on this area.
Week 11 only symptoms are this feeling of wanting to pass out coming in waves of strong and then barely at all, but always present a little. Other symptoms are maybe heart rate increase, with raised blood pressure and sometimes mild anxiety when fainting feeling is severe but one would probably expect that anyway.
I am also finding that walking is beneficial. Sitting down and slouching may not be. It is a posture thing which would highlight a neck problem. Does walking mean good posture or does it mean better blood flow on mild exercise. This is guess work on my part
WATCH THIS SPACE
post concussion syndrome or is it?
