I suggest you get examined by a physiatrist. You can find them listed under Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

It does not sound like a concussion but instead the neck injury portion of a concussion. When someone receives a concussion, there is always some trauma to the neck. Some may categorize this injury as a whiplash injury.

But don't take my word that you did not suffer a concussion. There are a vast number of ways a concussion can manifest.
