Concussion Question?
Ok, I feel really stupid about this, but I might as well ask... last night i was tossing and turning for a couple of hours, and i was getting really really frustrated trying to fall asleep....i couldnt, and eventually i cursed and kinda socked myself in the side of the head (balled fist, with the part between wrist bone and pinky knuckle...stupid i know...) i didnt lose consciousness right after and i -dont- have a lump on my head, but i immediately thought 'oh shit' right after i did it. (i am a bit of a worrier.) i checked my pupils in the bathroom and they both seemed to respond normally. i guess my questions are this: how hard of a blow does it take for a concussion to occur, and could i have a mild concussion? if so should i worry and was the force even close to strong enough to cause a brain injury.. i would say the force was about equivalent to pounding a fist on a desk from four inches away (in the manner i described) thanks Anyone else? (also, is 420 safe with a possible concussion?)

- I highly doubt you did any damage.
- Can you say hypochondriac, lol? It would take more force and a harder object to cause a concussion. I would be more concerned of your mental health status (i.e. hitting yourself) than a possible concussion. GOOD LUCK!
