Sort of long story short, my head bounced off the street in front of my house 2 days ago.

It gave me a bad headache and dizziness, except I have those things daily but this felt different. It is really hard to breathe without pain. A few hours later on pupil was dilated more then the other so I go it to get it checked out. A chest xray and ct scan show nothing wrong and they tell me to rest the next day or two and drink lots of fluids.

Breathing is back to normal but I get the different kind of dizziness and headaches and randomly get a ton of pressure in my head. I am surprised it hasn't exploded yet. I have a seizure disorder and maybe something else that causes lots of twitching and my twitching since the accident has been significantly worse and bothersome.

I guess that is a long story. Does it just take time or is there something else I should be doing to get over this? I have never had any kind of concussion before and it has been not fun at all.

Well... I don't really know anything about this. My poor head has taken a beating over the decades beginning when I was still a very young child. (I'll spare you the details!) (Plus, 2 or 3 years ago I guess it was, I also bounced my head off concrete in the process of falling off of my bike.) My inclination would be to say these sorts of "insults" simply take time to heal. But then, since you have a seizure disorder, that does add a potentially complicating factor to the whole situation.

The one other thing I can mention is that there are members, over on PC's sister website: "NeuroTalk" who are knowledgeable with regard to concussions. So, should this continue to be a problem, (assuming you're not already a member over there) you might consider signing in to see what those members can offer. Here's a link to the NeuroTalk website:
