Alan,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your trouble with the jagged stone.

It sounds like you do have a case of hypochondria. Plus, you sound like you have classic PCS anxiety.

What do you mean by raccoon eyes?

Your family doctor does not sound like he knows much about concussions. There is no valid test to diagnose a concussion other than subjective symptoms like head ache, sensitivity to sound and light, etc.

You are still early in your recovery. You need quiet rest and to try to let time work to heal your brain. Anxiety is the worst thing for a concussion recovery.

Have you stopped the alcohol ? You should also avoid caffeine.

You need to be careful about your activities over the next few weeks. You may need to contact your school's disability services to get some help with the start of classes.
