Don't "Tough it Out"

This little tip has been mentioned before. But it is important.

Do not try to tough it out. Concussion symptoms are not something that you can get through with sheer willpower. Your brain needs to heal at its own pace.

If you try to return to full activity too early, you are risking further injury as well as a possible return of symptoms. You are also looking at a longer recovery period, which is obviously not what you want.
