Should I Be Worried About Concussion After Getting Headaches Post Head Injury?

Hi,
Three days ago I hit my head pretty hard on the corner of my night stand. I have had consistent headaches since I hit it. I hit my head in the front, above my forehead on the right just past my hair line. Should I be worried that I have a concussion?

Dear sir

Yes you shaould always be worried about concussion injuries when it happens, these injuries will cause internal injuries to the brain wbich might have caused to cerebral matter

Even collection of blood due to internal bleeding is common. As there wont be anyvisual injuries it is essenstial to get CT scan doen and look for any signs of injury.

Thanks
