Post concussive : After a concussion it is not unusual to have some persistent headache, dizziness, vertigo or general malaise. So long as the symptoms are getting better slowly, I wouldn't worry too much. If increased activity worsens the symptoms, slow down and see if doing a little less helps improve your symptoms. It may take 4-6 weeks to get back to normal. If you are getting worse, go see your doctor!!

Generic response: Would likely suggest slow and gradual return to exercise over a period of 2-3 weeks, and would emphasize need for hydration and rest as a regular regimen.
