Hello,
Since you will see your Doctor, he can understand better your condition. I would say in your case, it may be fatigue, but, first is necessary to exclude any brain damage such as contusions, delayed subdural hematoma, etc. A CT scan is necessary for this purpose.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
