Get yourself checked out at the doctors, it's worth getting a professional opinion if you think you are showing signs of concussion. At least they will be able to advise you if you need any further checks etc.

You could go to the doctor, get checked out and walk out knowing you are not concussed. Look after number 1 and follow the kind advice above. 😊

I agree with what has already been said..It is most important you get this checked out. A doctor is the only person who can advise you on what steps (if any) you need to take

If it is concussion, you will need to rest. I didn't and still have bad symptoms 18 months later. Nothing is more important than your health, so get it checked out.

Mate, don't p**s about - go to your doctors NOW!!

Trust me - work/college/relationships come second to your head.

Don't hesitate, DO it!!
