See comments below: If your concerned about having had a concussion(minor traumatic brain injury from a blow to the head): Classically, someone with concussion has a headache, appears confused, and has loss of memory around the time of their head injury. They may also have lost consciousness briefly. If you didn't experience this it's unlikely you had a concussion and your symptoms should resolve in 1-2 days.
