Matt,

Your best complaint to a doctor is to tell of your falling down with witness accounts if possible. Then, relate all of your symptoms. Avoid telling the doctor you have Post Concussion Syndrome. Leave room for the doctor to make his diagnosis. In today's internet world, doctors are quite familiar with cyber-chondriacs. They are hypochondriacs who self-diagnose from information they have found online.

There is very little the doctor can offer you. Some will offer anti-anxiety meds because the patients presentation often shows a level of anxiety. Pain meds for head aches are common.

The gold standard for recovery is quiet rest. I can explain more later after you answer rmschaver's questions.
