i was playing basketball yesterdat,and me and my friend were running after the ball and we slammed into eachothers heads real hard,he hit me directly in the forehead and on the left side of my neck. That night i was dizzy and everytime i started looking around i felt like my eyes were crossing and i felt like caved in because of the way i was looking around. And now today i have a headache,my left ear hurts(above where i hit my neck)and i feel like i have the flue(but i took a flue shot before so i know i dont). BUt i was wondering if i had a concussion,or if i was showing symptoms of one. Im 16 years old.
o yea and when i got hit i saw like a bunch of colorful lines,its happend before but this time lines where like everywhere,it lasted for like a split second

yes you have a slight concussion. Take it easy for a few days and drink plenty of water.
Apply ice to the spots that got hit 20 min on 40 min off, do not go over 20 min on at a time or you get the reverse effect.

It may be a concussion. Usually if you go to the ER and they worry about a concussion, the doctor wants someone to wake you up every few hours so you don't go into a coma. Having a concussion does make your vision blurry or weird. You may want to put a cold pack on the hurt area.
It makes you dizzy, too. I hope you get better soon. Don't hit your head on anything again! I know from being in car accidents that once you've had a concussion you are more likely to have one if hit in the head again.

its a concussion, I am not telling you what to do besides dont hide it. Let an adult know right away. This happened to me once playing a pick up game of Football at school, but I hit one of those pillars that hold up an overhang.

Yes, that's a concussion. You should have gone to the emergency room. Also, if you want to know signs of a concussion, you can go to this web site, http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/concussion and read information about it. I hope this helps.
