Go to the emergency room now. Tell the doctor your symptoms. A brain injury does require quick treatment. Good luck.

The signs and symptoms of a concussion include severe headache, dizziness, vomiting, increased size of one pupil or sudden weakness in an arm or leg. The person may seem restless, aggitated or irritable. Often, the person may have memory loss or seem forgetful. These symptoms may last for several hours to weeks, depending on the seriousness of the injury. Any period of loss of consciousness or amnesia of the head injury should be evaluated by a health-care professional. As the brain tissue swells, the person may feel increasingly drowsy or confused. If the person is difficult to awaken or passes out, medical attention should be sought immediately. This could be a sign of a more severe injury.
These are the most common signs:
Headache
Nausea
Balance problems or dizziness
Double or fuzzy vision
Sensitivity to light or noise
Feeling sluggish
Feeling foggy or groggy
Concentration or memory problems
Confusion
I hope this helps!!!

Concussion Symptoms
Loss of consciousness after any trauma to the head
Confusion
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Blurred vision
Loss of short-term memory (you may not remember the actual injury and some time before and after the impact)
Perseverating (repeating the same thing over and over, despite being told the answer each time, for example, "Was I in an accident?")

Yes. ER for you. NOW. Some people naturally have unequal pupils, but the other symptoms suggest concussion. It isn't something to fool around with. Go see a doctor.
