Dizziness Months After Concussion

My doctor doesn't seem to think my health is her problem so I'm going to turn to you guys & get your opinion. I was in a car accident where I hit someone head on (their fault, don't judge!) going about 30-40mph on June 1st. I didn't hit my head but somehow got a nasty concussion (my second one). Recovery was rough but I finally felt okay enough to work again (about 2 mos. later). Soon, my symptoms started to come back, one of which was even worse than before: my dizziness. I get the "spins" and feel like I can't focus my eyes on anything. I also start to feel really heavy - like everything is a dream or I'm drunk and I can't think straight. It would happen when I drive, when I walk too fast, when I look up, down, left, right. I've finally come to the conclusion that it happens when the scenery around me moves really quickly. Doctor says it isn't vertigo, isn't my calcium crystals, and another doctor did an MRI without dye and didn't see a tumor. What do you think this is happening? I'm so tired of it happening, not to mention scared because it's been months. It seems like no one cares because it isn't an easy answer.

NOTE: whenever one of these dizzy spells are triggered, it doesn't go away for 30+ minutes. It'll lessen over time to the point where it's only the not being able to focus my eyes / heaviness / drunk-feeling / dream-feeling
