Default Should I start a new job?

I am six months post concussion. Migraines off and on, and sometimes fatigue and brain fog when I overdo it (e.g. Holidays, driving long distances). I'm on complete rest and seeing much improvement and feel good resting. Should I continue resting or go after a part time job, low key, at the library? I can afford to keep resting however am interested in this library job. There will likely be more jobs like it offered in the future, perhaps not as convenient as this job listed now. Your opinion is appreciated.

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.

Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
