Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

You should know that this CT scan finding (generalized mild atrophy) is not related to the trauma and is just an incidental finding. It is not specific for any medical condition.
As long as you have a good memory, there is nothing to worry about.
The headache is quite common after a head concussion. For this reason, I recommend taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen, which will help also for the pain in other parts of the body.
All you need is some rest and a balanced diet. Your situation will improve spontaneously in the next weeks. There is nothing to worry about.
I would also recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values and avoid smoking contacts.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
