Default Symptoms Return, Need Advice

My symptoms had been getting better until I got really bad burnout from school after my attempt of getting caught up from the three weeks of school I missed earlier.

I failed to realize the burnout symptoms until those got really bad, and they've caused some concussion symptoms too.

Recently my hearing is super sensitive and my vision is a bit more too. Ear plugs help a lot.My brain is shutting down it seems like. I have brain fog really bad, which has been very rare. I'm tired almost all the time, even after I sleep for 10 hours, which is what I'm trying to get each day. I can feel veins in my head and sometimes they spasm. I never noticed this before.

When I'm in a light, noisy place too long my vision starts to go and my head really starts hurting. I also was misspelling several words today.

I get muscle spasms (different than my tics) throughout my body, especially after I sleep. Is my posture wrong? I sleep on my back with a small pillow.

My tics have returned a little bit, but not seriously.

I returned back to school for the first time today with these symptoms not knowing how bad they really were. I had several appts. this weekend and they were not much help. I have about 3 weeks left in the school quarter and I'm taking two very heavy difficult college level classes. As of right now, I'm pretty much caught up with them, but my symptoms are bad.

I just could not sit in class for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on. and I toughed it through. I go to one class for an hour and a half. Go to a quiet room for an hour and a half, go to the 2nd class for an hour and a half. But today I left the first class early and would have left it way earlier had we not been doing something more important.

Should I completely rest and shut down for a week or so until symptoms fade? Should I try and finish out the quarter of school? The school has been very accomadating and has already made plans because I've had concussion issues before. My mom called the hospital to get some advice today, but they haven't callsd back yet.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
