See your dctor: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor. Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.

YES!: You absolutely should go get it looked at. Even minor head injuries can cause concussion. This is not something you can figure out for yourself. If your doctor can't see you today, you should seriously consider a visit the er.
