Get an assessment: Rather than worrying have an evaluation from a primary care doc and/or neurologist to rule out a traumatic head injury. If you have it, get the correct help. If not, then no worry needed! be well, .

Concussion: Concussion is fancy way of describing traumatic brain injury. Fact that you have a mild headache & feel lightheaded means you've sustained a concussion. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/concussion/ds00320 for more info. I wouldn't worry but instead urge you to seek medical evaluation if it gets worse or continues. Also tell family & close friends so they'll watch you carefully 4 changes.
