You : You may have a concussion. I recommend that you be medically evaluated for your symptoms.

Yes: Any loss of consciousness qualifies as a concussion. No loss of consciousness with the dizziness you describe would qualify as a concussion. If symptoms do not resolve spontaneously or if symptoms worsen, you should seek a more formal evaluation. Good luck
