Default Missing my marbles! (A vent)

I'm new to this whole thing and am of course just hoping it will go away. I've found it frustrating that the docs haven't said much to me, so it's nice to find this forum.

Had a bike accident 3 weeks ago and was out cold for 5 minutes. (Is this a long time? I have no idea.) And that was with a helmet. No recollection of the accident. Checked out okay with CT scan and xrays at the hospital and had a headache for about 2 days, then a transient one for the next week or so.

Then I felt fine! Great, even! Concussion - no biggie. Now I'm not so sure.

Some days okay, others I feel very tired and the headaches continue to nag me. Usually headaches are a rarity for me, but I've been taking Tylenol on a pretty much daily basis. Today it even started to cause some difficulties in focus for me. Dizziness too. I'm tired and am sure I'll be in bed very early tonight.

So for what I've gathered online, rest is pretty much the only thing to do. Should I even bother going back to my family doc? Or am I just a nuisance?

This is such a weird thing, to feel fine and then have it come back and bite you in the ***!

Thanks for reading my vent.
