Get it checked out: Each concussion builds on the last. If this is due to a sports injury then, you're pushing the limits of when you should be pulled from the sport since there comes a point where getting concussed becomes so easy that it's a real risk to take any type of hit. Your future cognitive health depends on it. Headaches should be treated or they become chronic. Questions? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi

Evaluated?: I would be visiting my doctor and neurologist if the symptoms haven't passed or lessened after 5 months. You've had 2 concussions and may benefit from more screenings/imaging at this point.

I tried MMA for 2 weeks and may have gotten a mild concussion. Felt stunned, but nothing after & no headache. I continued going to class & getting hit in the head. I stopped now, but could this have initiated CTE by not letting the concussion heal?

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?

How hard do you have to hit your head to get a concussion? I got a terrible headache doing a forward roll on a gymnastics spring floor 3 days ago. I still dont feel right but the headache was only a day. Could this be a concussion or just a anxiety?
