Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms are quite normal after a head concussion. These symptoms usually improve in a couple of weeks, but sometimes they may last for months, leading to need for medication. Anyway, I would recommend having some rest and avoiding straining physical activity. If your complaints persist, I would recommend planning a brain MRI study. If the situation worsens, I would recommend going to the ER for a brain CT scan. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
