Unlikely: Not real likely, however, if you have persistent symptoms you may want to see a neurologist for a evaluation and discussion.

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?

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?
