Default Questions about my TBI injury

I fell and hit the right side of my head on a wall. I felt fine, just a bit dizzy that day but otherwise fine went to work with no problems, 4 days later I slipped and fell on ice and hit my head on concrete. I initially felt a little funny but was able to drive myself home (a 20 min drive).

Once home I relaxed for a bit and went to bed a few hours later. I woke up the next morning feeling as if the room was shifting, my right side would not stop shaking I felt week, and I could not walk a straight line or even walk without help. I went to the hospital and was admitted for observation. During the night my blood pressure dropped to 60 over 32. Later it did go back up but would randomly drop. I was sent to see a neurologist who told me I have PCS and she has me in physical therapy. On my own I went to my chiropractor and have had some good luck with some chiropractic care of my C-4 & C-5.

However I still feel very nauseated, I can not sleep at night, I wake up multiple times per night feeling dazed and confused and my mind racing. I wake up in the morning feeling tired and weak but wanting to do things, yet 10 min into doing something I feel even more dazed and confused and need to sit.

I am still having involuntary arm twitches/shaking on my right side. Prior to this happening all smells make me even more nauseated and I feel like I am in a tunnel or the room will start to shift kind of like double vision, my ears will ring and I get a really bad headache (more intense than what I have on a daily basis) and it feels like I have needles poking me in the head.
Sometimes I feel very restless and need to get up and walk around for a bit and then I will sit down and start running my hands over my legs or up and down my arms. This usually lasts for a few minutes. Does anyone know what this could be? My 2nd fall happened on Feb 14th of this year.

I am still off work and can’t really concentrate on things. My attention span is gone and I can’t multi task. This is a problem for me since I need this for my job. Does anyone have any ideas or anything that might help?
