Could i have a concussion from bending down and standing up too soon hitting head on counter? what should i do?

Concussion.: Depending on how hard you actually hit your head on the counter, you certainly could get a concussion by this mechanism. A concussion occurs after trauma to the head. You should watch for symptoms during the first 24 to 48 hours after the impact. If you are symptom free during this period of time, then you are probably OK. Look for somnolence, inattentiveness.
