Concussion testing is the test to evaluate brain function before and after a head trauma, which is performed by a health-care professional. They measure physical skills such as balance, and mental skills such as memory, concentration, how quickly you can think and solve problems, and your ability to pay attention. Sometimes, a baseline test is performed in persons who are at risk of getting a concussion such as athletes.

I'm 30 and my leg has been pulsing since last night. I've also been dealing with neck pain. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you're experiencing some discomfort, but a pulsing sensation in the leg combined with neck pain could be due to muscle tension or nerve irritation. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like blood flow problems or nerve compression.
