• Answer:

  You definitely could have a concussion. Headaches are one of the most prominent symptoms of a concussion. Also you said that you couldn't remember where you were for 20 minutes, this symptom of memory loss is probably the biggest tell-tale of a concussion. It is very likely that you did get a concussion, and I would definitely see a doctor as soon as possible.
