You wouldn't necessarily "know" without being examined, but you can easily see if you have the classic symptoms by Googling for "concussion symptoms" and making an appointment with a doctor.
Phil First of all, I have no medical training. That being said, from what I understand, NO, you won't always know if you have a concussion. If you think you might have a concussion, you should GO TO A DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY! Depending on what happened to you, you might, for instance, have bleeding inside your skull that could be really dangerous and could even kill you. And you might not know it at all. A doctor may perform simple tests to check that your eyes are working normally, that you can move all your muscles and feel things normally, and that you're thinking normally. You may also get more sophisticated tests to look at your brain inside your skull to check for bleeding or swelling. If you think there's a possibility that you have a concussion, I believe you should go to a doctor. You might feel signs of bad things that could be happening - or you might not. You should especially see a doctor if you have a headache. Get things checked out before it's too late.

Can you heal from a concussion?

Yes, you can die from a concussion. If you are hit in the head hard enough, it can cause bleeding within the skull. In particular if an artery is affected (epidural bleed), it can cause death quickly. Subdural bleeds (veins) can also cause pressure buildup and death, but more gradually. Both of these are not very common though.


Could you have concussion and not know it?

The symptoms of concussion are dizziness and nausea (feeling like you might throw up) and a sore head. However it is possible to have delayed concussion which means that the injury has happened but you don't get the symptoms until later. This can be a problem if you have gone home alone thinking that you are OK and the symptoms come on when there is no-one around to get you to hospital.
