Hello,
If you feel you've been concussed then, you are advised to see a neurologist who can assess you for baseline neurological function.
If you were dazed or lapsed in consciousness for any period of time then, the diagnosis is more likely.
Concussions take different times to heal in different persons depending upon the severity.
In your case, it sounds as if the degree of injury would be considered MILD and you may be feeling back to normal any time within the next several weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
