I have had a concussion and I thought it went away but do I still have it?
Back in the end of August while playing soccer I play goal keeper I received a concussion from a girl slamming her hip into my head. That one lasted three weeks or so and I went back to playing soccer. Three weeks later while in an intense game another player came running at my head giving me yet another concussion. I was out for the season and I finally passed the IMPACT concussion test earlier this month. All my learning capabilities are back I still have that kind of foggy feeling though. Now it is indoor track season and I am a sprinter and jumper. Im almost naturally in shape and muscular and conditioning has always been hard but never this. I started doing my running practices and after three easy 100 meter sprints and a walk back I started to get incredibly dizzy. Not necessarily out of breath but just dizzy. I was still able to talk but I felt like throwing up my lunch and I was going to fall over. I would sit down and when I was able to do something again I would run a bit then feel dizzy. Over the past week of practices I keep having the same problem but getting worse. Ill be running now and ill sway with my steps. My doctor told me to come back and see him if I encountered dizziness when doing anything physical. My problem is though I dont know if this is really all in my head as my track coach puts it or if its literally all in my head as the school trainer puts it. Help?

You should be evaluated by a medical doctor. Your symptoms do not sound like they are all in your head as your track coach put it. Dont listen to them. See a doctor and get yourself better. After all whats more important preserving your health or making your track coach happy?

I think you should go back to the doctor. If you are experiencing diziness than something is still wrong. Listening to your coach in times like this sometimes isnt sucha good idea.
