You should be active to encourage good blood flow to the brain. Too much rest works against that protocol.
Your dizziness may be vestibular. That can be assessed by a vestibular or sometimes physical therapist.
At 2 weeks, you are still early in the spontaneous recovery group. 85% recover within 6 to 8 weeks.

Thanks for both those useful posts!
I did not cocoon myself and rest either, cause at first I did not realise thus was concussion.
Yes General Dr,s don,t seem to know much about concussion..just rest is the thing,
I.m going to take your advice and try to relax a lot. Thank goodness for patient forums! 👍
