Post Paintball

so I've been hit by a paintball today right in the temple area. Does anyone know if I should be concerned about that? I have a pretty painful bump on my head now but otherwise seem to be fine except for some dizziness and anxiety. It can't be a concussion, can it ?

If anything, you traumatize the skin. There is not enough mass to move your head. Your dizziness is likely due to your anxiety.

Not only are the paintballs lightweight they splatter (they absorb the energy of the impact most likely)

Anxiety is my bet.
