Detailed Answer:
Hello

I agree with your doctor.This type of injury is called as concussion injury. Concussion is caused by sudden blow to the head.
It is good that there is no internal brain parenchymal injury.

CT can findings only shows age related atrophy.This is shown as volume loss of brain.This is a expected finding.

There is nothing to be worried about.Present symptoms are temporary.You will recover soon.You may only need symptomatic treatment.

Get well soon.
