Fainting: When you faint there is a brief decrease in the oxygen available to the brain. This can result in brief seizure like activity.

Sinus or other: Headaches can have various causes. Pain behind the eyes associated with headaches are usually either atypical muscle tension or sinus headaches. They may also be caused by migraines. If there is decreased vision or pain on movement of the eyes, see an eye doctor immediately.

Please see a neuro : Doc. Without a headache this would be unlikely related to your concussion, but myasthenia gravis remains a possibility. Best wishes.

ALLERGY SINUSITIS: Most likely you have allergy sinusitis , or you could be having a chronic sinusitis
try to take allergy medicine like zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night since it could make you drowsy
if persistent you might need to see ENT specialist
some people benefit from saline nasal spray, some suggest local honey from your local farmer market.

It is normal: Eyes rolling up when you close or attempt to close your eyes is a rather normal phenomenon called "Bell's" phenomenon. Some people will have a stronger Bell's than others.
