I would see another Dr with your list of concerns.
Are you on any medications that might be causing these side effects? I had similar problems when taking Lipitor.. Usually stumbling and falling into a wall won't have enough speed or force to cause a concussion. Getting another opinion to check for other things is a good idea .

SofaOO,
You need to get assessed by a professional. You could have damage or you could have been triggered into a depression. Depression can cause all of your struggles. Covid can cause the same struggles. Get a good medical exam. A Physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) who works with neuro rehabilitation would be good. A Neuro Psychological Assessment by a Neuro Psych associated with a Neuro Rehab clinic or hospital would also be worthwhile. You just say you hit your head. You don't say how or what immediate symptoms you experienced. What happened that caused you to hit your head into the wall? No seeing a doctor right away rarely makes a difference. I doubt it makes any difference in your case.

If you had a neurological event that caused you to stumble, you need to get checked. A TIA, Transient Ischemic Attack, mini-stroke, can cause you to stumble and could cause all of your symptoms.

Stop taking those medications. They may be causing your problems. You may have to taper the dose down if the withdrawal effects are bad.

Hi Sofa00,
I just want to mention that it is VERY important to always consult with a qualified medical professional before just stopping a prescribed medication. Many meds, especially those that impact the neurological system, need to be carefully titrated down, rather than just stopping them, to avoid what can be severe withdrawal symptoms. All members should please remember " These forums are for mutual support and information sharing only.

This is especially worth noting when it comes to just stopping a prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
