God ... my bro hited me accidently with his hockey stick.... right on the face as he was shooting
Idk if ima need to go to the doctor...

Ouch!!! Get well soon Pier.

You should cool it at once with ice or a wet piece of cloth and lay on the couch or wherever.
Will certainly swell and become a bump at the spot you were hit, but the cooling helps with it.
Ask one of your family to watch over you, dont stay alone in this condition.
If you still feel dizzy afterwards and this doesnt go away after the cooling and some rest ( not sleep, just rest calmly somewhere )
and you e.g. have to vomit, have little memory gaps or so you should definitely go see a doctor asap.
If its just a bump, you will feel fine again after some minutes. But if you dont and still feel unwell, you need to be careful.
These are signs for a concussion indeed and you should not underestimate these.
Already minor hits from outside can have a dangerous effect depending on the person and the position you were hit.
There are very weak spots in the head where there is less protection which may cause inner injuries one cant see at first sight.
The other day another soccer player ran into me on the field with maximum speed because he didnt see me.
We bumped together with the heads and it got dark, was unconscious for some time...
When i woke up there was blood everywhere, had a strong bleeding cut short above my eye and couldnt see any more
because it was literally swelling to the size of a golf ball within minutes.
It had to be needled in hospital, but i had no headache or whatever. They did some check ups and told me it will be fine again.
On another day i was shot into the face with the ball, it didnt even hurt that much and i wanted to go on.
But i became very dizzy and it didnt go away. Had to be substituted and in fact just this little shot turned out to be a light concussion.
So as a result, you should not interpret the severity this cna have to your head by the degree you were hit with or if you bleed and such.
Its a very sensible area and you need to listen to your body very carefully and rather go to the doctor once too often than too little
