My weirdest symptom

Hello all
I was diagnosed with a concussion yesterday at the ER after getting a really solid bonk to the top of my head from a student, and by far the weirdest symptom I’ve had is a feeling of absolute dread any time I look up beyond the general horizon line outside of the house

Trees, buildings, birds, powerlines, and what else have you are apparently extremely visually stimulating to me, and it’s been manifesting in fear and dread along with thoughts of “If you look up you’ll die”.

It’s very funny and fascinating tbh.

I wonder if anyone else can say they experienced the same thing
