See a neurologist: Your head injury calls for more evaluation and possible treatment. It's not that the CT scan was "accurate" or "innaccurate", it's that you need more attention for injury that may not yet have been clearly diagnosed or understood by the means employed so far.

Cerebral Concussion: I feel empathy for your symptoms after the car accident. Feel relief that Your CT Scan is Normal. I understand your anxiety about headache, dizziness and weakness. Please go to Emergency Room with a supportive person for evaluation of Heart palpitations, Breathlessness, unusual exhaustion and nausea; and be evaluated by a Cardiologist and Neurologist. Your Health is Precious!

Concussion: Likely suffered concussion and now experiencing some post traumatic issues. Since the persistence can be very variable, seek help from your regular doctor. The CAT scan can be very valuable in excluding significant brain problems, and should be reassuring. However, your ongoing issues are due to trauma which does not alter brain anatomy, which could be seen on CAT

R/O CONCUSSION : In a high speed MVA. It is not unusual to get a concussion. Initial head CT may be negative. Follow up with your doctor and a neurologist. I usually recommend monthly visits for 3-4 months to evaluate for POST-CONCUSSIVE SYNDROME. If symptoms persist or worsen, a brain MRI AND MRA may be necessary.
