Brief Answer:
Not related to post concussion syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Postural hypotension is not related to post concussion syndrome.
A small concussion that happened six months ago would have completely cleared by now. It can cause mild memory loss or some occasional dizziness. But it will not cause irregular heart beats, muscle spasms or sleep disorder. This can happen due to stress, anxiety, electrolyte disturbance, etc. Cardiac causes also need to be ruled out after a proper examination and a few tests.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
