A member asked:

Minor headache that cleared. do i have a concussion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Specifics: Glad that your headache has "cleared". A closed head injury is common, and not necessarily associated with a concussion, which, by definition, is trauma to head resulting in loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or a combination of both. Otherwise, head injury is not a concussion.

I was hit in the head at a boxing match and started to get a mild headache about 30 minutes after, lasting about 2 weeks (only symptom). It has cleared now and I've started fighting again. Could this be a concussion? And have I gone back too soon?
