Default Concussion from concrete?

I got a migraine shortly after this incident last night, so it's hard for me to really know whether my symptoms are from a concussion or just from the migraine (since they can both have very similar symptoms). I was sitting down on a concrete step and I wasn't looking through my glasses, so I misjudged the height of the step, thinking it was a couple inches or so higher than it was, and so I sat down pretty hard and it made my head feel weird. Could this be enough force to cause a concussion?

The sensation was real but not necessarily a concussion. The forces possible make a concussion very unlikely. Check out this post. You very likely just triggered an amygdala response.

Unlikely, if impossible. Relax, go about your day.
