Concussion or just Psychosomatic?

Hello everyone! So, to preface this, I haven’t struggled with hypochondria for a while, ever since I got on my meds. But I have a genuine question. So about a year ago I bumped my head super hard, and got my first concussion. Ever since then, it seems any time I even SLIGHTLY bump my head I get one, it’s seriously ridiculous. About 10 minutes ago I bumped it lightly, so lightly I barely grazed my head. But now my head-well, I wouldn’t say it hurts, but it feels like that slightly out of it, full of cotton feeling. Now, that could just be because I drank a ton of coffee earlier and haven’t drunken a lot or water. And I’ve read before that once you get one concussion your chances of getting another one increases a LOT. But my question is, once you get one, does your skull become super sensitive after? Or am I just overthinking it, and it’s psychosomatic/from other things? Because it does feel very real to me.

Definitely psychosomatic. A concussion doesn't weaken your skull, it is caused by your brain moving rapidly inside of your skull.

Alright, so my head actually doesn’t hurt that much, I mean, it hurts a little, but the main thing is I’ve been ridiculously anxious all day, in the past when I’ve had these “concussions” I’ve had this bad gut feeling/anxious head feeling before, and it’s not going away, and kinda scaring me. For anyone who’s well-versed in concussions is intense anxiety common during them, or is this just my anxiety disorder acting up?
