Yes: The symptoms of concussion may last up to 6 months. You may experience fatigue, difficulties with concentration, headaches, difficulties with sleep, dizziness. Just try to "listen" to your body and get enough rest. If you feel you have to take a nap during the day - it is fine. Make sure that there is no other issues, f.E anemia, thyroid gland issues... Do not assign all to concussion.

This is not unusual: Traumatic brain injury with concussion is a complex set of events. It is known that it may take several weeks for the brain chemistry to calm down. The symptoms that you describe should decrease over time. It the symptoms do not improve you should consult your physician. Newer MRI studies with increased sensitivity are coming out and have demonstrated small punctate hemorrhages with concussion.
