Have you talked with your colleges health service to see if they can help you prepare for school?
Are you going away to college or staying home and attending a local school?
What kind of activities do you do in an average week? How much sleep are you getting? What kind of stress is there at home? How is your diet?
I don't think you are close to taking on a normal schedule and lifestyle. Your brain still needs more quiet rest and you need to get control of your anxiety and hypochondria.
If it helps, I believe the best concussion neurologist on the east coast in Dr Robert Cantu in Concord Mass.

I get about 8.5 hours of sleep per night. A typical day for me consists of waking up at around 9:30, then I eat breakfast. I do some stuff around the house for a little, nothing strenuous though. Once 430 rolls around I go to work which is a valet parking job. That's my only really exercise I do. However every other day I still do my exercise bands cuz I still don't get headaches while I use them. However, i do notice that the ear fullness and aitplane feeling gets worse with exercise. After work I go home watch tv then go to bed.
As far as the college thing, I don't have a choice. College starts the 24th and I can't control that. It's just annoying because some of the feelings I used to get just randomly started up again. I live in Pittsburgh and I understand the allergy season this year is brutal but I have a hats time believing this is the culprit.
