Hello,

Symptoms of concussion are brief loss of consciousness, headaches, pressure, nausea or vomiting, confusion, amnesia. Even if it was a concussion in your case, it was a mild one. You should see your Doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
