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

A 29-year-old male asked:

When me and my cousin were younger he used to slap my head for fun for nearly 5 years. Weird I know but we were in our early teens. The slaps weren't hard most of the time, they didn't cause swelling, pain, or concussions. Will I get CTE or dementia?

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?

I hit my head on the car door and have a small bump. 24 hours later I have a bad headache. Could I have a concussion?
