Did you pass out?: Ask your friends if you passed out. If yes, play it safe and have your doctor examine your brain function/neurological function. If you did not get knocked unconscious there is no reason to see a doctor if you have no symptoms.

? concussion: If you are feeling normal, you probably do not have to see a doctor. However, if you are having symptoms, do see a doctor.
