Brief Answer:
There is no concussion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Signs and symptoms of concussion include alterations in consciousness such confusion, amnesia and/or loss of consciousness.

You didn't experienced any of these symptoms, so there is no concussion in your case.

I think it was just a minor accident that can happen to everyone of us, so don't worry about it.

If you experience some headaches at impact area, use of paracetamol should be sufficient in improving it.

Hope I've been of help.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
