I would like to add, that after I woke up this morning, all of my covers on top of me felt far more heavy then they are supposed to, and also, my legs felt so weak, that I couldn't even hold them up longer for a second. Also, as im writing this, i am progressively getting slower and slower to type which is very abnormal for someone like me. I always type pretty fast, but typing all of this is such a struggle. Do any of you guys have a clue to why this is? Because it would really help me out to find out what is going on. I dont really feel like going to the doctors because, at the moment, it doesn't feel really urgent, but if it continues to get worse, I may just have to go to the doctors.

Very true , it could be something totally separate and unrelated.

I can't go to the doctor because my mom thinks I'm making it up with my ocd

Oh yeah, I got a concussion a year ago. The symptoms lasted for a year because I didn't do anything to treat it. I went to every doctor, and even a concussion specialist, and they all said i didn't have a concussion. I then also had an MRI and that came out saying I have had no concussions ever before. Even at this point I still didn't believe it, and I self diagnosed myself with a concussion. That's why my mom won't take me

I'm still weak in the arms, and more weak in my left arm then my right, and it has officially been 2 weeks later. I forgot to include at the time this slap to the back of the head, my dad was driving backwards very slowly and slapped the back of my head. After this smack, I suddenly experienced weakness in my arms and legs and felt dizzy when I moved my head. When I was working I heard a brief low quiet ring in my right ear, which went away in a second or two. After that am hour later, my head started to hurt a little on the left front side for around a minute and went away. As of recently, I have been keep waking up 3:30 in the morning and have been not able to go back to sleep for an hour and a half. During this time, I would experience extreme anxiety and a dreaded feel of doom. Also, a few days back at my work, my boss called me in the office to go over some things, and I tried to listen to him, but everything felt so foggy and my stomach started gurgling and I was sweating in the rear. I was wondering if all of this is more likely to still be due to stress or is it more likely a concussion.

I would also like to add in there that is it possible for these symptoms to come from whiplash? Also, I forgot to add that as of last night, I woke up at 3:00 and I couldn't feel my toe, it went away in a minute or two, but is this even related?
