I play football and I had 2 concussions in past month. I feel dizzy and it is very problematic for me to think. Is this normal after concussion? Is this post concussion syndrome?

Hey there,
This is normal after concussion, especially since you had two head injuries in past month. Yes it is very possible it is PCS. Dizziness, fatigue, nausea, headache, vomiting, blurred vision, are symptoms often associated with post-concussion syndrome. Post concussion syndrome is caused by swelling of the brain after an injury. I think you should talk to your coach and team doctor if your team has one,… in every case, go to a doctor and avoid all kinds of athletic activities.
