Red face PCS and nausea

I am about four months out on a car accident related TBI. The accident involved a lot of twisting. I initially had OT and Speech for the balance and speech, and that was good. I am now doing chiropractic and massage, mostly but not entirely focused on my neck. I am making progress, but slowly. This is my second (at least) concussion and fourth or fifth low speed car accident. I also had another significant head injury when four guys walking briskly and carrying a metal raft frame weren't paying attention and rammed the thing into my head. I was squatting on the ground with my back to them, working on another frame. The blow knocked me off my feet and sprawling.

I have trouble sleeping, in some part because I am anxious and worried about a number of things like if I made a mistake or that I am only working part time or what will become of me, etc. I have realized that when I become exhausted from lack of sleep and other stressors I not only feel exhausted but also feel nauseous, unsteady and frequently too hot or too cold. (Normally I sleep like the dead and am not sensitive to temperature.

This seems like adrenal fatigue...does it seem likely that this is related to the Post Concussive Syndrome? Is that something that other people with PCS have?
