Sounds like one.: Could be. See your doctor for a simple neuro exam and discuss factors that may have caused your fall.

Yes. : Yes. Question that would be of more concern would be if you blacked out before fall. This is called syncope and doc needs to do work up.

Possibly: Concussions typically occur after a head injury. At times, head injuries can be minor and we might not think much of them. If you have any headaches, confusion, vision changes, etc then it would be good to get checked out.
