Default Eye strain+burning and world feels tilted

2 weeks ago now, I had 2 minor jolts to my neck.
The first was in the train. I was sitting with my head tilted forward looking at my laptop on my lap when the train jerked slightly, causing my head to be pulled forward. It wasnÂ’t a big jolt (not a hard stop, more like a "hiccup" of the train) but because my neck was looking down I feel like I felt the force of the jolt more in my neck.

The second jolt was a day later. I was speed-walking, looking at my phone to check directions, and unexpectedly stepped into a small dip in the road (about 2-3 inches), which caused a sudden downward jolt through my body because my knee was straight and was not expecting to have to drop down further.

The day after the second jolt, I started to have some weird blurred vision, eye muscle spasms/twitching, and burning eyes. I have never in my 6 years with PCS had such eye symptoms. The eye symptoms (twitching, burning, blurred) seem mostly to be in the left eye.

The other new symptom I have developed is this debilitating disoriented/unstable feeling. I would not exactly call it dizziness, it is more like my sense of where my body is in space is off. When I am standing/walking I feel like the position of my feet below me is off/weird. When trying to read or do anything while seated I also just feel so off and disoriented like just so uncomfortable in my body as though everything is skewed or tilted slightly. Like for example when sitting without a back rest, I feel like I can't tell where my back is. This also makes me feel a bit queasy and really anxious because it is such a strange and uncomfortable sensation. It is present 24/7 but gets worse when walking around and looking in the distance . Even when I lay in bed I feel a weird sensation like the position of the right side of my head is off. Tilting my head to the right seems to help a little bit at least temporarily.

I am so baffled and scared by these symptoms. The feeling is so horrendous and honestly debilitating. Could it be attributed to the jolts? Because I was looking down when both jolts happened, I worry my neck was in an unstable/vulnerable position which could have amplified the forces to my neck. But these symptoms are so debilitating it seem disproportionate to the jolts that happened.
also I have never had eye problems like this before or these types of proprioception problems.

I have also already been to PT once for my neck 1.5 months ago. The 2nd manual therapy session caused a massive flare up of symptoms which lasted about 2wks but thankfully improved after that. I know my neck is vulnerable/has problems but these symptoms feel so extreme.
