Do I have a concussion?

Question

Someone smacked me in the head pretty hard a week ago. For three days, I had a headache and since then my head feels pretty heavy and stiff (not like normal). Do you think I should be worried? Do I have a concussion?

Answer 1

Well its probably sore

but if it still hurts in a couple

days i would go to the doctor.

Answer 2

If the guy smacked you hard enough, it could be mild whiplash.  Not like the kind you see in car accidents, but enough to irritate the muscles and nerves in your neck.  More likely to be true if you are younger rather than older.  This would cause headaches, stiffness, and that heavy feeling.  Put an ice pack at the base of your neck for 20 minutes to help with the pain.  Gently stretch your head forward and to both sides to stretch out the muscles.  If this lasts for another couple days, see a chiropractor.

Answer 3

no you would have been KO'd and throwing up

Answer 4

yes I would worry and have it check with doctor.
