Yes, for sure there is a cumulative effect, which is part of the concern that doctors have.

I have had several concussions, and noticed that each concussion needed less impact to have adverse consequences. Sort of like re-injuring a sprained ankle – takes less to hurt it the second time.
I wish I could blame my migraines I had on the concussions, but had the migraines BEFORE my big pumpkin head bruised my brain! I can see how athletes have cumulative consequences from multiple concussion, so brain injury becomes more evident.
