This is so interesting. I am almost 100% sure i have this. When I exercise on a bike and keep my pulse a bit low, I dont get really bad symptoms. But when I for instance go on an elliptical I get much worse symptoms!

[@sachacornelissen8788]

Found this so interesting, thank you so much. I had a bump to head 7 days ago and have been passing out twice daily even though I am resting. It’s been a real concern been a mum of young children. Doctors just continue to say it’s concussion and to rest so it’s great to understand it all a little bit more.

Hi. Great video. Question: if a concussion patient has ans dysfunction/excercise intolerance, is it safe for them to still Donate Blood? What would happen just feel more light-headed/dizzy???

[@adamchanes1206]

I'm noticing that there's no listed clinics on your website in New York City proper. Do you have any recs for an NYC doc/clinic not on your list?

[@rosek1892]

I'm afraid to be worse ..so not sure about antidepressant

[@lisachristinaconfirmed5067]

This was fantastic info. Wish you were here in Tx!! I think it would be hard to do thing like buffalo concussion protocol test without a providers guidance.

[@CompleteConcussions]

Yes it should definitely be done by a trained provider! Clinics.completeconcussions.com are all of our trained people. We are growing so hopefully someone near to you soon :)

[@chrisobrien5081]

How would you test a child (9)? I have a child with a lot of these chronic symptoms but did not have a head injury?

[@joeshow131]

I’m two months post concussion and very much recognise these symptoms! I had two questions though. Is it possible that my symptoms get worse after exercise and not during? And I take methylphenidate for my adhd, could this be contributing to the dysautonomia?

[@debbietasker2720]

I got a tbi in 2019 a few months later almost died because my neuro refused to believe my passing out and heart rate falling to 20 all the time was real.

[@shannonmoore4564]

Hey I've been watching your videos and they are so informative. I would really appreciate some kind of feedback in regards to my situation. I hit the back of my head 4 days ago on a desk while in sleep. It was very hard but not hard enough to make me loose any consciousness or experience symptoms of going to the ER. Fast forward 4 days later. I'm experiencing extreme nausea and have had diarrhea since accident every time I have a BM also headaches, dizziness and light and noise sensitivity. My parents have kind of blown off the situation and are reluctant for me to get the help I think I need. They think in the following days I will be better but the symptoms persist. I would like to see a concussion specialist so I can maybe lower my chances of PCS but my parents will think I'm overreacting and won't want to spend the extra money so I can receive some help. I feel quite stuck. Should I see a specialist and how do I know im picking the right person for my treatmet and how do I convince my parents I need help?

[@rosek1892]

What if I'm severely depressed...can an antidepressant help also

[@RaneBane]

I told my neuro all these symptoms. I just got a pcs diagnosis. Its been almost 2 years

Can you explain why I've had foot tingling since getting bad head injury?

[@matthaines8136]

@Chris Kozak it's been eight months for me

[@camillahare7855]

@@matthaines8136 Wow I have this as well!!!! And it gets "worse" with activity, but I guess you need activity to treat the main cause.
