Default 2.5 lb. weight fell on head

hi everyone,

I've been reading these forums for years - SO helpful.

I had a mild concussion 8 years ago (I hit the side of my head, right above my ear, on the edge of my counter while rapidly standing up from cleaning the floor - terrible place to hit where the skull is the thinnest). I have a history of significant migraines so it took me 6 mths to recover from my concussion - symptoms were severe headaches and exhaustion.

I was just bending down when a 2.5 lb weight (a sodastream canister) fell on my head, about 2 ft. It fell on the top of my head.

Q: How likely is this kind of incident going to lead to a concussion? Obviously, I'm super anxious about this possibility -

Thank you!
