The head movement exercises the CN suggests are more of a vestibular rehab, reconditioning treatment. This sounds like your head sensitivity may be misdiagnosed as vestibular. But, it is one of the many symptoms of PCS that need to be considered. Have you had a full vestibular assessment ?
Do you have a sense of dizziness after head movements or speed bumps ? Or, some other symptoms ?
The anxiety issue is worth addressing. What may be a minor short term symptom can be magnified to a much more intense and longer lasting symptom due to anxiety. What are you doing to address your anxiety issues ?

Thanks for the replies guys.
I have not had a full vestibular assessment so maybe that's something I should look into. After head movements what I get is a spaced out feeling and feeling slower, feeling tired, and generally just not feeling good. Dizziness isn't really a part of that.
So far my anxiety treatment involves bouncing thoughts/worries off my girlfriend every so often so she can tell me when she thinks I'm being irrational. That's about it. I was on paxil years ago but that didn't help at all and made me feel worse cognitively.
