Question Should I worry about this?

I've had 2 concussion and now suffering PCS.

Today, my grandmother came to visit me, and as a joke gave me a little slap to the cheek (not exactly a joke, but it wasn't out of anger and she was just kidding with me).

Does that count as a third concussion? I didn't feel my head shake, but that's a little slap (and any blow to the head can cause a concussion).

This wasn't one of these slaps that turn your head to the side - it was a mild slap that didn't even hurt, but I still fear this might cause a concussion (because it's still a blow to the face).

So what do you think? Did I get a concussion from this? I'm really worried...

It didn't leave any visible mark on my face, by the way.

It still worries me, so please write your opinion.

No.......... That is not a concussion.

Please lighten up and try to reduce your anxiety about all these issues.
