If you are still having symptoms two weeks later, it is certainly possible that you may have suffered a concussion. You should see your primary care doctor or a neurologist to be evaluated. I would not ignore this. Good luck.

A concussion is a closed head injury causing loss of consciousness, memory loss, or a combination of both. If this did occur, you might have post-concussional symptoms for about 4-6 weeks. A longer duration of "brain fog" might suggest traumatic brain injury. Best to avoid wrestling at this time, and have your symptoms fully evaluated by a neurologist.

You either had a convulsive episode or a simple faint,but not both. If you lost consciousness for a significant period of time with shaking of extremities,bit your tongue,had urinary incontinence and had transient confusion upon regaining consciousness, it was a convulsion and all the more reason to be evaluated by a neurologist. A simple faint could have been brought on by dehydration, though.
