A member asked:
After a concussion, can laying on a very firm pillow too fast exacerbate symptoms or set back the healing process in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: When recovering from a concussion, one would certainly avoid any activities that involve sudden acceleration or deceleration with the head. Laying on a firm pillow, however,should' be fine. I would certainly follow up with the doctor who diagnosed your concussion to discuss your specific case with them.
