A concussion is any injury to the brain that results from hitting the head!. Micro-injuries to the brain - like a rearranged connection between adjacent brain cells, is very common and can happen with very little force, and they can occur with no apparent symptoms!.
In general, the harder the head is hit, the more damage occurs, so concussions span an almost infinite range from no symptoms to sending someone into a coma!. A basketball that hits you in the head from a hard throw can easily jog a few connections in the brain - maybe not enough for you to notice, but this is still a concussion!. So, if you have any odd sensations that are just a little different from normal, or even a little bit of a headache, these are symptoms of a minor concussion!.

Curiously, not all that hard!. The key point in determining concussion is more where the strike than how much force behind the hit!. There are some areas of the head which require very little force to result in a significant injury while there are others that are resistant to injury!. As you might guess from movies where the hero head butts someone to a knock down, the crown of the head is fairly sturdy, while the temple is readily damaged!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well I whacked my head a while back and I swear I was concussed!
I have never felt so lousy in my whole life!. I felt ill, couldn't rest my head on the bit that I hurt, I actually felt like I was going to throw up and just felt weak, as well as feeling dizzy!. I had a real bad headache too!.
(That was the night that I accidently boiled my fish, I turned the heater up to the highest temperatur because I thought it was too cold!.!.!.!.!.!.!.the water was steaming the next day!.!.!.!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
