Default CT Scan 8 Weeks Post Concussion?

Hello, I fainted, fell backwards and hit the back of my head on the garage floor about eight weeks ago. Went to the ER and did not get a CT scan at that time, based on the ER doc's evaluation. First month was bad - daily headaches, balance issues, etc. but I am slowly improving, although still minimally exercising and not spending too much time in the sun due to light sensitivity. I went to my regular doctor for a check up about two weeks ago because my headaches were pretty bad and she wanted me to get a CT scan. I haven't yet because I seem to be healing and it doesn't seem necessary. Does anyone have thoughts on whether I should get one, or not? I have a high deductible health plan so would rather not spend the $800 if there is no real benefit and I'm not sure what it would reveal. My doctor, while very good, is a general practitioner and basically went on her computer and read up about concussions during my visit.
