What I don't understand is that smell that occurs when you get smacked in the head, that lasts only the second you are smacked, and vanishes afterwords. Any ideas on this?

I just wanted to chime in because I experienced very similar symptoms after getting accidentially elbowed in the back of the head and I also have lots of anxiety. I'm still unsure whether I recieved a true concussion or whether all of my symptoms were due to anxiety, however, I dont think the fact that the symptoms occurred soon after the accident rules out anxiety. Anxiety can come on fast with its symptoms. Think of people receiving unexpected or shocking news and needing to sit down, it's an extremely quick turn around time.
