Brief Answer:
It was concussion.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concern. If you just threw up once, then you don't have to worry. If you continue feel nauseous all the time, or worsening headaches, confusion, any limb weakness, then you need prompt medical support. If you just feel fine from several hours, you can go to sleep. OTC ( Paracetamol) may help if feel light headaches. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
