Default sensitivity of brain to minor movements

Hello all,

I'm a 20 year old male with a history of concussions (probably 5-6). I'm not exactly sure if I started experiencing this after a concussion or not, but my brain seems to be very sensitive to even minor movements. This started approximately 2 years ago and hasn't improved.

Here are some examples of minor movements that would affect me:
shaking my head, turning my head around quickly to shoulder check in vehicle, plopping down on a bean bag chair, driving over rough gravel roads, driving relatively fast over a speed bump, etc.

the symptoms i would subsequently experience are similar to those of a concussion: headaches, slight dizziness, "zoning-out". It would feel as if i had sustained another concussion.

Depending on the magnitude of the motion, the symptoms would last between 2-3 hours up to a full day.

Being a young college student, its really unfortunate that everyday activities can trigger my symptoms. I haven't really consulted any professionals yet, but I'd like to hear from this community as to what their thoughts are and if they have any similar experiences.

I would really like to have this resolved (if possible), and hopefully you guys could provide the solution. I should mention that the most ct scan i've had (1 year ago) showed no abnormalities.

Thanks for reading
