Is this normal or should I be looking into something more serious?

I've had nearly every test I can imagine MRI, multiple CT scans, Vestibular function testing and every heart test known to man.

Thanks for taking time to read and if anyone has ANY suggestions please share them.
A couple of questions:
1. How did you get your concussion? It's hard to get one without some neck involvement and Mark is right about being VERY attentive to that issue.
2. Is your dizziness connected to some activity? For example, some PCS patients find they get dizzy when their heart rate increases during exercise/exertion. I get "the spins" if I'm overtired or overdoing it.
