How harmful for your health is a concussion injury?

Temporary only: By definition, a concussion is a head injury leading to loss of consciousness, loss of memory, and/or a combination of both. It is no more or no less. It is what it is! brain injury beyond this is a very different process, and may involve permanent loss of cognitive fnctns.
