Days...: Headaches after a concussion can last several days and in more severe concussions, weeks. If you are having headaches after a head injury see your primary care physician.Other diagnoses including bleeds adjacent to the brain and the brain lining( dura) need to be ruled out . Do not delay!

Two days ago, I did a forward roll on a spring floor at a gym. I had a headache before the roll, and it got much worse after. The bad headache lasted all night but was dissipated the next morning. Could I have caused a concussion from a forward roll?
