See a doctor: You should see your doctor if you had a head injury and are having memory problems. The two things may be connected, but they may not be. Sometimes other issues can cause memory loss as well. See your doctor.

Not likely: No individual opinion can be offered - but if it was just a bump and there were no associated problems like loss or alteration or consciousness, nausea, vomiting, headache, visual disturbance, diziness or amnesia generally this would not be considered a brain injury. Severity of injury and concussion is associated with lower or higher risk. But, seek evaluation for memory problems.
