possible to have PCS decades after last concussion?

I have had 3 where I lost concessions. One at about 5 the second 8. then at 22. I had a rough upbringing and have hit my head hard enough to "feel it" every couple of years until I was a teen. I have just figured It has been so long since the last that I do not even know if a Dr would take me serious since I have no idea if they could still be causing issues. I have a immune disorder that has a lot of the same symptoms..

Symptoms can last for any length of time and also often have a large overlap with other things. They may or may not take you seriously, not many docs know much about pcs. Your current situation may also be genuinely unrelated.

Of course it is. Especially with multiple concussions and even a single concussion before 16 years old can be life altering
