Head Injury from Paintballing?

Question

Yesterday I was with a group of friends and went paintballing.

It was the first game and I was shot in the head, right above my mask. On the left side of my head, about 2 inches above my temple in the hairline. I have a welt and I can feel it is tender and sore.

I didn't think anything of it until I woke up this morning feeling all loopy and wierd. I have a headache in my entire head but moreso on the left side where I was hit.

The paintball didn't explode when it hit my head.

Do I have a concussion? What else could it possibly be? Anyone else ever have this happen?

I'm going to the doctor but not til 5pm after I get off work
