Traumatic Brain Injury

Dear Doctor
I recently had MRI of my brain with and without contrast due to my headaches and memory loss. I also suffer with fatigue as well. The radiologist interpretation was evidence of old bleed in my brain most likely due to traumatic injury. My neurologist was not concerned about the findings and said it would not kill me or anything. However I am very concerned! I was hit in the head with a door several years ago and in 1995 was in a car accident with no LOC. Did either of these events cause the bleed? I am quite worried as you can tell. My neurologist will see me again in one month and wants me to try Elavil 10 mg at bedtime to start. My symptoms are Headache,memory loss,fatigue,lack of concentration,and mood swings. Are these signs of a TBI? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
