Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
In concussion , mild traumatic brain injury occur multiply disruption of brain functions and blurred vision usually appear but is not mandatory, depends of severity and other factors. Symptoms described by you are very suggestive for concussion in your case seems to be postconcussive syndrome ( your symptoms last 2 months ) but they are transitory and can resolve spontaneously over the weeks. At this stage monitor yourself and your condition, avoid physical exercise, lifting heavy weights, prolonged sunlight exposure, alcohol, stress.
I wish you good luck and speedy recovery.
Hope this helps and I have answered your query. If you have additional queries don’t hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
Dr.Mihail
