Post-Concussion: After a concussion, you can have headaches, dizziness and lack of concentration for several weeks. Usually, you need not be concerned as the symptoms usually resolve.

Post concussion pain: After a concussion people may experience a nagging low grade head pain, which is often poorly localized. You might consider an over the counter analgesic like ibuprofen or Alleve. If this persists, speak to your doctor about amitriptyline, which is often used for this type of pain.
