Can Severe Headache After Head Smack Be A Concussion?
Yesterday at cheerleading I did a basket toss and when our flyer came down the base and I smacked heads. The other girl was fine but I had to leave the game because my headache was so bad. I got hit on my cheek bone. Is it possible I have a concussion?

Hence if any of the above mentioned symptoms are present headache can be a sign of concussion head injury. If any of the symptoms are present then it requires evaluation by a physician.
