I got elbowed pretty hard in the forehead - could I have a mild concussion?

I have a wicked headache ever since and my vision is a bit blurry. I guess one really can't do much about it afterward.
Answer:
The same thing once happened to my mom. She ended up in the hospital, there was only a 50/50 % survival. She pulled through, but the left side of her body doesn't work. My advice; GET IT CHECKED!
Any hit to any part of the head can cause a concussion, seek medical attention asap
Yes, it is very possible, DO NOT try to sleep, if you do you could go into a comma, unless your doctor says to, you should get medical attention, very soon!
Yes it is quite possible. You should go to the doctor. Also, see if your eyes respond to light, thats one of the best ways to tell, although, as I said, you should still go to the doc.
Signs of a concussion usually do include headache, blurred vision and even nausea or vomiting. It is always a good idea to have a doctor check you out after a head injury, especially if you are having problems. In reference to your last line, it's better safe than sorry, and you don't want to let something go to long.
