Suffered A Concussion, Headaches, Dizziness, Nausea. Treatment For Symptoms?

I had a concussion about 3 months ago from a gymnastics related injury. I was doing a backhandspring and I landed on my head. I suffered from headaches and dizziness at the time and the symptoms seemed to go away but during the past couple of weeks i have gotten headaches again and felt nauseous, dizzy, and lightheaded. Are these delayed concussionary symptoms? Or could it be something else?
