Do I have a concussion?!


Question: Do I have a concussion?
About 2 hours ago I hit my head on the back or my dad's corvette...don't ask how...but it felt like everything kind of went blank for a second and my head hurt really bad. It still hurts now but bot as bad. The left side of my neck is hurting a little bit too, but I hit my head directly on the top. I've had an ice pack on the back of my neck for a while now. My mom wants to take my to the hospital, but i don't want to waste her time/money...but I'm also kind of worried that I might have a minor concussion or something and I'm afraid to fall asleep...what do you think I should do?

Answers:

You have a concussion, you were knocked out. You should be fine, but if you start getting a headache, feel sick to your stomach, or have trouble thinking clearly/talking coherently, go to the emergency room.

If you don't have any of those symptoms, wait about another hour and you should be able to go to sleep, just make sure your mom wakes you up every 2 hours and asks you some questions to make sure you're still responsive.
