Question: I have had several concussions, most of which went to hospital, but most recent 2 years ago fell down full flight of stairs and hit head on shelving making me unconscious. Decide not to go ER when I came to. IT been a few years but recently I have a more stressful job and have been getting severe headaches maybe once a week, mostly on the side of the injury, it happens at times of stress but is usually on the left side where I hit it about 2 inches above my left eye. I also have difficulty sleeping, and at times feel sort of tingling sensations around the scar area. Im worried of a possible blood vessel ready to pop or cancer due to the pressure. My new job is stressful so I do have a lot of mood changes, and have become much less social. I also take Aderall for last 10 years, and consume about a 12 pack of beer maybe 3 nights a week. and use chewing tabacco. My concern is the pressure, tingling and pain is on one side near the scar area. I also have a very hard time falling asleep and also waking up and sometimes sleep all day sat or sunday. I try not to take aderall after 4pm. My motivation at times is down. and my mood can be very up and down. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You, I do see a phyc a couple times a year who has me on low dose of Klonopin, low dose of nortriptiline, and adderal. Recent changes in my carreer have added a lot more stress, so Ill discuss that with him. One last concern is a pulsing feeling around the temple, but also near the injury, Could this be the sensitivity? My concern is on the lines of a damaged blood vessel that is ready to pop. Ive also tried lowering salt consumption thinking possible hypertension. Would this be realistic? I see my phyc in XXXXXXX so just want to weed out or prioritize certain concerns before than. Thanks Again
