Crazy 3rd Concussion MVA flying two weeks after concussion

Hello am new here and would like to explain my concussion history. Have been struggling with depression ever since my MVA and am feeling pretty upset about my multiple head injuries. First concussion Nov 2015 I hit my head on metal railing on bus. CT was fine. Headaches and nausea lasted a few months.

Second concussion from rollercoaster Oct 2017 nausea and headaches as well as neck pain.

Exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning Feb 2018 at an airbnb. This produced similar symptoms to PCS such as headaches and nausea especially when doing mental tasks and trying to concentrate. School was a struggle but my symptoms got better in April.

May 10 I recently got in a MVA. I was turning and car drove into my passenger side. Did not hit my head or pass out but the whiplash apparently was the culprit behind my concussion and also neck injury. First week lots of headaches and nausea and second week nerve pain and head pressure showed up. A lot of my symptoms are left sided, left side of head random pressure, tingling in face, arm down to waist. Headaches all over head. Some left ear pain as well.
Car rides produce some uncomfortable headaches but nothing excruciating and I can’t for the life of me use a computer or read so had to take another week off work. The nerve pain/tingling gets worse when I lay down, seeing a Neurologist tomorrow. The ER doctor I saw my second time doesn’t believe I should expose myself to another CT based on my symptoms but ultimately says it’s up to me.. I’ve had 3 total, 2 when I was a teenager. I am 26 years old.
Has anyone in this forum used CBD oil for their pain?
I also have a flight coming up exactly two weeks since my accident and would hate to cancel, it’s only a 1.5 hr flight. /:
