I hit my head hard on the wall four days ago, mild headache started after two days, no other problems. what should i do? is it concussion?

The first thing you: can do is to stop banging your against walls and other solid objects. Since you developed a headache afterwards, you probably had a mild concussion. You need to get plenty of sleep, take a non-narcotic pain med as needed for the headache and DEFINITELY protect your head during the healing period.

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?
