How long does it take to get over a concussion? it has almost been a month and my head still feels different.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Longer: Six months to a year is a realistic timeframe for a severe concussion, 3-6 months for a mild concussion. Some things get better faster than others. Headaches may persist for much longer, at least mild ones.

How hard do you have to hit your head to get a concussion? I got a terrible headache doing a forward roll on a gymnastics spring floor 3 days ago. I still dont feel right but the headache was only a day. Could this be a concussion or just a anxiety?
