Default Is it PCS? Is it anxiety? Or does it not matter?

I've been battling whatever this is since hitting my head last October.

I've always had low-level anxiety throughout my life but it has always been very manageable.

A week after hitting my head, I had my first panic attack. I got better after a few months but smoked marijuana and had a second MASSIVE panic attack. Since that attack, I haven't been right.

I experience hand tremors, muscle twitching, jaw clenching, soft spots on my head are always sore, some type of vertigo/ dizziness, derealization/ depersonalization, tunnel vision, I can feel the pulse in my body...sometimes it feels like my head or body are vibrating.

Neurologist (specializing in headaches) did blood work and MRA but to no avail. Psychiatrist gave me Xanax after a 45 minutes consultation.
What irritates me is the Psychiatrist seems to not care that I hit my head and the Neurologist seems to not care that I have anxiety.

It this PCS? It this anxiety? Does it even matter?
Any advice on what I should do next?

I keep flipping between the two. The hit to the head started it all...so it must be PCS...however the symptoms only started after I had my panic attacks...so it must be anxiety.

I've been debating for months about seeing a Psychologist but I really don't think these symptoms are thought-based. But who knows.
