Default Whiplash / Jarring head injury from gym??

Hi,

I've previously recovered from PCS in 2015, though I've always been panicky / high anxiety prone if I accidentally bump my head since then.

I was in the gym last weekend and basically felt a judder / shockwave effect from the weights (2
x 30kg) as I partially held/dropped them onto the floor. I've been experiencing PCS-like symptoms ever since, especially balance/procioception, memory issues and generally not feeling right (anxiety / depression).

I'm horrified that I may have done this to myself although Headway UK mentioned it could be more psychological, while the hospital mentioned trauma activation of the original concussion incident.

Either way, it feels very real and frightening right now and I suppose I'm looking for some balanced perspective from yourselves.
