Hi, about two months ago, my boyfriend was assaulted when leaving a pub and suffered a concussion. The week that followed, he was evaluated by an emergency room doctor a few days after it happened, then again by his primary care doctor, and once more about 2 weeks after it happened by another emergency room doctor. He had a CT scan and the doctor that saw him said that everything looked fine and explained the recovery from a concussion. It's now 2 months since he was diagnosed and it happened. But he is still experiencing lots of symptoms that are associated with it (that we believe). He complains about headaches, dizziness, vertigo, not being able to sleep, and and overall feeling of being uneasy. He also says that it comes in waves and that sometimes he think he feels fine, and other times he feels terrible. He's also said that most of the time he feels fine when he wakes up, but around noon he'll start to feel like that all over again. He is also easily angered, combative, emotional, and has a hard time gathering his thoughts. From what I've read on the internet, it seems as if he's suffering from post-concussion syndrome, but he is absolutely convinced that he's suffering from something more serious, like a brain tumor, and that he's going to die. I've assured him countless times that if it was something as serious as that, that the 3 doctors who had already evaluated him would have seen that. But, he is still absolutely convinced that he's going to die and is suffering from something more serious that was just "over-looked." He's becoming almost impossible to talk to because he is so determined that that's what it is, but I keep assuring him that he's still recovering from his concussion. My main question is... is this all normal? How long does it take to recover from a concussion? Is it normal for him to still be experiencing these symptoms 2 months after the incident? I just don't know how to deal with him anymore. He doesn't have health insurance so we have to put-off going to see more doctors unless it's absolutely medically necessary. Any help on this would be greatly and truly appreciated. Thank you so, so much!
