You may get some neck strain from the whiplash.
Or you may have had a poor night sleep. The anxiety of such a near collision could easily disrupt normal sleep and cause all of your symptoms. Many of us who struggle with insomnia have days full of those symptoms.

Is that 0.9G actually the amount of force against your head though? If so, why does it seem like such an extreme jolt to brake suddenly? It just seems like it would have to be at least several Gs of force. Also, my 40 pound dog flew off the back seat, could 0.9G do that?
