Concussion: You don't have to have a loss of consciousness to have suffered a minor concussion. A headache is a very common after effect of a concussion. Any headache that is severe and intolerable after a head injury needs to be evaluated by a physician.

You : You may have a concussion. Symptoms of concussion can include headache and dizziness which you are already experiencing. You do not have to lose consciousness to develop a concussion. Other possible symptoms include ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, feeling tired, visual changes, slurred speech or difficutly remembering what happened. It would be prudent to be medically evaluated. Take care.

I tried MMA for 2 weeks and may have gotten a mild concussion. Felt stunned, but nothing after & no headache. I continued going to class & getting hit in the head. I stopped now, but could this have initiated CTE by not letting the concussion heal?
