Default A new diagnosis...

Alright so im just really confused about this..when i first got hit, i went to a medical clinic that originally diagnosed me with PCS. The nurse practitioner was sure of it and everything.

I had an appt with our family doctor again earlier today, she asked how my symptoms were and i told her everything. Told her that it feels like things havent gotten all that much better.

I explained to her that it was only after i had received the blow that all these symptoms showed up a week later. She came in, sat down and just flat out told me there was no way i have a concussion nor do i have PCS...

She told me you dont get a concussion unless you lose consciousness, she then proceeded to tell me that i was just having anxiety. Yet never in my life have i had anxiety over anything really, one day it just showed up and it was about 8 days after i got hit.

The symptoms i told her about are:
-Chronic fatigue
-Anxiety
-Headaches everyday
-Vertigo
-loss of balance
-occasional memory loss

Its almost like she ignored everything and just slapped anxiety on a piece of paper...she ordered an EKG, blood work to test my thyroid i guess, and a ct scan. EKG came out just fine, which is weird because i have always felt my heartbeat in my head. My heart beats abnormally hard, or atleast it feels that way..a few friends have noticed they've seen my heartbeat beating really hard from the way my chest was moving.

I asked if i didnt have PCS or ever had a concussion why would all these things just show up. She simply said that maybe i was having PTSD over something, and left it at that.

The CT scan i go and get on friday, then after that i wait for bloodwork results and the ct results...

I really dont know what to think of all this, this was the same clinic who diagnosed me with PCS and now according to my doctor i dont have it, i simply have anxiety? I dont know..Does anyone else find this weird?
