I have a similar issue as well where I have setbacks after sneezing of coughing.
The only explanation I've heard so far is that it raises the intracranial pressure messes with your ears.
Other possibilities that I came across in my research is that the intracranial pressure puts pressure on the optical nerves or it has something to do with the neck.
I'm fairly certain that the issue is not in the shaking of the head, as I usually try to support my head when I sneeze or lean it against something so it doesn't jerk, and I still get the same symptoms.
Sometimes when I cough too hard I get a very stiff neck and head pressure/headache for a day and generally feel worse.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.
Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
