Hoping someone else has been through this because I am just really miserable. Last month I fell in the shower and hit my head. I don't think I was even knocked out - or if I was it was for no more than a second or two - but I felt quite out of it afterwards so 111 send me to A&E to be checked over, where they determined I had a minor concussion - so minor they didn't even feel I needed to be scanned but told me to come back if I started having any other symptoms. About a week later I was still feeling quite sick and dizzy and my memory was shot to shit so they sent me for a CT scan to make sure I didn't have a bleed on the brain or anything. All fine.
Since then I've had ongoing symptoms - my concentration is shot, my memory is shot, constant dizzy episodes, headaches, serious irritability and episodes of feeling really low. I spoke to a GP just before Christmas who said it might be post concussion syndrome and they couldn't do anything except watch and wait. I've been told it might go on for months.
I can't believe that this could happen through something so completely innocuous. Honestly I almost didn't even go into hospital, I really thought 111 were overreacting - it was that minor.
Has anyone else had this? Did your symptoms go? I'm due to go back to work next week (I'm freelance) and I can't see how I'm going to be able to manage. It took me ages just to type this out.
