Yes: Concussion does not need to be accompanied by a loss of consciousness. In fact most of them are not.

Bumped my head and developed a goose egg. Did not lose consciousness, no vomiting, no dizziness, no nausea. Felt completely fine afterwards. I have a very light headache. I am a very anxious person (on lexapro). Worried I might have a concussion?
