See your: primary care doctor if no chance of seeing a neurologist to help eliminate other causes for your symptoms. At your age there are other possibilities especially if these symptoms began after recovery from concussion.

Concussion: Go to an ER for an evaluation ASAP. You can have a slow intracranial bleed which might not have shown on the first CT. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen etc. Tylenol (acetaminophen) ok. No alcohol. You need another neuro and CT exam.
