Default Slow speed rear ending - whiplash?

Hi everyone,

My luck just continues to worsen. Ironically on my way to pick up my first prescription of lexapro for anxiety, I rear ended someone going max 5-10 mph. The person I rear-ended was moving, I don't think I came to a complete stop after hitting the car, and I was well braced with both hands on the steering wheel, looking behind me. I was jolted a bit, but don't remember exactly how much.

I had a panic attack afterwards for 45min to an hour, but have since calmed down, although I'm getting a slight headache where I imagine my brain would've bumped into my skull, had it actually bumped. My rational side is telling me that the impact was so little, and most of it was absorbed by the cars, that I'm worrying too much, but I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that this sort of impact couldn't do any damage.
