Extreme sudden fatigue cont post-op

Had an accident 6 months ago - got hit in the head by a bus at 30 kmph on left side of forehead. No broken bones, but right side retina detached and had first emergency eye surgery (general anaesthesia). 90 days after, had second eye surgery (local anaesthesia) and very next day onwards started strange extreme fatigue. Fatigue was so bad was bed ridden for 3 weeks. Slowly improving but fatigue still comes in waves during the day. Thyroid is normal with 150 mg Thyroxin per day, Sugar is normal at 5.8 HbA1C. Brain scans are normal with no lesions. Optical nerve is normal.MRI is normal. EKG is normal. No sleep issues. Not depressed. Can't climb one flight of stairs without running out of breath and feeling as if 10kg weight tied to legs. 51 years old and was active and healthy until the accident. Right hand injury during the accident is undergoing physiotherapy for pain until neck and shoulder. No other anomalies. What is the right doctor / specialist to help me out ?

Am i going to die soon??

37M. I was fine until ~50 days ago. Since then I have intermittent head heaviness/fogginess, needing extra effort to concentrate/work, mild dizziness and a feeling that my head/body is not fully focused. I get random brief pin-prick pains in different scalp/head areas and occasional brief zap/electric sensations; these are now less frequent. I also have heaviness/tightness at the back of my head and lower neck. At times I feel internal shaking without visible tremor. Occasionally I feel subjective leg heaviness and positional finger tingling, but I can walk, work, drive and perform daily activities without persistent weakness or falls. Symptoms often reduce when busy. I have anxiety about brain disease and am seeing a psychologist. Video neurological assessment was normal. Eye examination, including fundus/optic discs, was normal. B12 was 219 and Vitamin D 7 four months ago. Could this be anxiety/migraine, vitamin deficiency, cervical spine/neck-related, or another deadly neuro conditi
