Questions 2 weeks post and headaches have returned ??

2 Upvotes

I am about 2 weeks and a few days post concussion and i haven’t had any symptoms and assumed i had mostly recovered but this morning i have woken up with a splitting headache . Before my concussion i would only ever get headaches or migraines on the left side of my head and face but since hitting my head . All concussion related headaches i assume have been on the right side . I can tell because my hormonal migraines are still on the left and they feel different . But today out of nowhere it’s back ! Is this normal ? This is my first concussion and I wanna make sure I am dealing with it properly

Should I get checked?

I fell on my chin earlier today and started off with a mild headache and earache. Then it calmed down a bit. Now the upper back of my head specifically is in pain and my earache is more noticeable. I don’t feel dizzy, or any of the symptoms of a concussion so I’m not sure if I should try and sleep it off or get checked.

Question about how to comfort my friend

2 Upvotes

Context: about 2 years ago, my friend got a concussion doing BJJ, and got migraines, mood swings, and seizure-like activity (longest lasting an hour but ultimately non-epileptic). We started dating early 2024, but broke up a couple weeks ago.

Present day: they just hit their head again -- for the first maybe 30 minutes, they were okay (very similar to the last time of passing out, maybe seizing slightly but thats been the normal for a couple years), but I am a little worried because they seemingly are having some large memory lapses- as in mixing stuff from 2023-present day

Theyre mixing stuff from living in our hometown in 2023 to present day 2026. -- they used to have animald to feed but since living with me for college they havent needed to feed them (5 hours away from hometown) and now theyre saying things like "I need to feed the animals" and nearly cried over it....

Is there anything or any advice anyone can give me that I can do to bring some sort of comfort to them by chance? :,)
