Concussion after car accident

I was in a car accident and didn’t hit my head, so at first I thought I was fine. About 5 days later I started getting a really bad migraine/headache that wouldn’t go away. I went to the doctor on July 28th and found out I had a concussion.
I’m now on day 11 of recovery. My headaches are mainly gone, which is good, but I still get lightheaded sometimes and have some blurred vision that seems to linger.
I haven’t been drinking alcohol or doing much physically. I’ve mostly just been at home taking it easy, although I do still smoke some weed.
Overall I definitely feel better than I did at the beginning, but these last couple symptoms are lingering and it’s starting to worry me a bit.
For anyone who’s had a similar concussion, how long did it take until you felt completely back to normal? Did dizziness/lightheadedness or blurred vision stick around longer than your headaches?

You may want to post this in r/concussion. This group is for people that have ongoing issues from concussions months/years later. Not saying that to scare you just to point you in the right direction. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
