Had one concussion.is it easier to get another?would acidentally bumping heads with my boyfriend cause it?i fear that every contact with my head s bad

Yes easier for 2nd: The threshold for suffering concussions after a 1st is lower each time. But one shouldn't live their lives in fear after having one if they are careful and take normal precautions. Most blows to the head do not result in concussions. Just curious though what kinds of activities do you and your boyfriend engage in causing you to be worried about what seem to be frequent blows to the head?
