What Causes Tingling Feeling In Tongue And Metallic Taste After A Hit On Head?

Hi! I was playing rugby today and I went into a ruck and someones knee hit my head. I had a tingling feeling in my tongue and I had a metallic taste for about 30 seconds after hitting my head. My mother was worried that I might have a light concussion. She is a Hematologist. I m not sure if I am remembering the right events after the hit, I think I remember being a bit disorientated for about a minute. I also wasn t standing in the right place and I seemed to be making funny decisions.
