There is another thread where the OP is suffering from nausea and dizziness. Based on a response of a person that suffers from Vertigo it reminded me of something my mother went through called BPPV (see attached) after suffering a head injury in a car accident. The symptoms: Migraines, Nausea, and Dizziness. Her doctor had misdiagnosed her as having a concussion before realizing it was BPPV six weeks later. She was put into a position which caused her eyes to "flick", therefore, testing positive for BPPV. They put her in another position which put these "ear rocks/crystals" back into place and she immediately was symptom free. For our sports medicine people and coaches, is this something you have heard of, trained to look for? The good news is the treatment is easy, quick and works on the majority of people. The interesting news, it usually goes away in about 2 months by itself, about the same time many people with concussions say they are seeing some of their symptoms diminish.
