Default Sneezing causing concussions? & therapy questions

Hi everyone i am doing my best to heal & try to get back to normal. Ive had PCS for 6+ months and after i finished school i tried to watch some TV, the world cup but for some reason i noticed i had become REALLY light and sound sensitive. So i stopped watching tv and i went to my computer and it was not functioning right and i ran a diagnostic test & that was a huge mistake. This color band screen came and i went berserk. Later in the middle of the night i woke up dizzy, nauseous and shaking. It was either a panic attack or a seizure im not sure. Now 5 days later I have to wear sunglasses in the house. Hard for me to do anything on the computer but i had to sign up for classes and so i decided to also post this. My eyes have also been hurting for 5 days with a lot of pressure and pain. Today i was doing a bit better but then i had a big sneeze and i tried to keep my head steady but failed and my head moved back and forth pretty quick and now i have some dizziness but plenty of pressure to my entire head. Is this another concussion, mTBI and if so what movements or things cause them? (question 1)

I just do not know anymore what is ok and what isnt. Trying my best to get better but my family isnt quite on board. My father continually bothers me to work, believes im faking it. Neuro told me info and i tell him but he doesnt get it. If thats his way of poking fun, im not in the mood (told him that too). I got an occupational thpy appt. tomorrow, i have no idea what to expect and i got to stay calm because i must drive myself. My neuro wanted me to do physical thpy but i do not have the money. She also wanted me to take nortriptyline to help me sleep and for my anxiety but it did not help my sleep. Do the therapies work for anyone? (question 2)
