Default need help w/1st neuro visit

Hello,I'm new to this forum.
I hope this makes sense and hope I posted in the right place.
I'm not myself of late and since I'm not feeling so hot I hope I can make this short and not ramble.
I was told I had PCS and to make an appointment with the neurologist.
Can anyone give me some advice on what questions to ask and what to expect for my first visit?I would greatly appreciate it.
I am feeling anxious about the visit as I don't know anything about this condition.
Some of my sypmtoms are:
I can read,but slower than normal and can only read outloud for about one sentence then have to stop.
I can't take moving objects in my eyes view and am sensitive to sound and light.
I have dizziness,lack of focus that comes and goes and feel shaky but my body is not moving.
I have difficulty with even the simplest of household tasks:laundry,dishes.
Overall I feel like I'm "off" and just not right.

My injury was due to an accident.I was hit at the top of the head with a door while bending down.I've had two CAT scans.Should I ask for an MRI too?
How long can this last.What should I do if it goes on and on?
