Just because you did not lose consciousness, that does not mean you won't have lingering symptoms. Most people struggling with long term symptoms did not lose consciousness.

When you hit your head, the brain reacts with inflammation to repair the damage. That inflammation response can occur with or without a concussive-force impact. And that inflammation is what causes the symptoms.

After repeat head injuries, the brain may overreact and pump out too much inflammation. So trying to analyze the impact force and determine whether or not there was an injury is too hard.

Anxiety is linked to inflammation, and inflammation contributes to anxiety and symptoms.

So it's best to listen to your body, rest for a few days to allow the inflammation to subside, then gradually increase your activity level.
