Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
These symptoms after concussion do not indicate anxiety. As anxiety symptoms more apparent when patient is awake.
Her symptoms more likely due to following conditions:
-Delirium: for that detail neurological and medical assessment is needed.
-Seizure: It is common to have some abnormal behavior during seizure. Concussion also increases chances for developing seizure.
You inform her doctor regarding her condition for future management and do not give any medicine without doctor advice.
Wishing her good health and all the best.
