Concussion: All that is required for a concussion is that your brain bounce around inside your skull. So if you have a significant acceleration/deceleration event you could get a concussion. If the headache and nausea resolve pretty quickly and you have no lingering symptoms past 24-48 hours then I would not be terribly concerned.
