Hello and welcome here. Neurotalk is a good place. What you are describing with getting panic attacks sure sounds like post concussion syndrome. You probably did get a concussion, but didn't realize it, and the panic you feel is from your injured brain.
I don't know why panic can be a symptom of a concussion, and anxiety is too, but I look at it this way. It's your injured brain telling you it needs rest.
I hope you can find some calm and quiet to really rest your brain. Limit screens including TV, computer, phone. Eat good food and check out the stickie at the top with the vitamins and supplements. This is no cure all.
As for smoking marajuana, well, your brain chemisty may be differnent now due to your injury. Alcohol too might affect you much more than it did before. You need to rethink smoking anything in order to get your brain to heal.
I have to be very careful with alcohol now and my hubby makes wine. It's best if I stay away from it.
Keep asking your questions and giving us your symptoms. Other, experienced people will weigh in here.
Take care,
poetrymom

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
