Hard to say: You are right in saying it may take less force after a concussion to bring about a second one, especially if the first concussion was recent. That being said, it would certainly take more than a minor bump from a laptop to do that. If any concerns, don't hesitate to be seen.

Can you get a concussion from a pillow thrown and landed on top of your head? It did not hurt. No bump, no headaches, no lite headedness.

How often are bumps to head really concussions? Is just a headache for a day or two after a concussion? Do these mild hits and bumps cause CTE later?
