Head Injury: If you did not become sleepy or 'somnolent' as we call it, and/or did not get nauseated or vomited, then you most likely do not have a concussion. If more than 24 hours have passed since your injury without these symptoms then you will be fine.No testing needed.

Concussion: With a hit to the head and no symptoms such as headache, vomiting or altered mental status it is extremely unlikely you sustained a concussion.
