Concussion or something else?

28M 6 ft

5 days ago I was boxing with some people I knew. My first time really fighting someone else. This guy punches my head about 4 times. (Side of head and back of head) Didn’t hurt too bad at the time. A couple days passed and I didn’t notice anything.

3 days after, I started noticing symptoms. Head swelling and feels tingly, slight pressure around head and on temples. Mild fatigue. Now like 4-5 days later I’m noticing fogginess and slightly processing information slower. No slurred speech or balance issues and I still feel like my brain is working, other than the grogginess.

I haven’t been to the doctor, I don’t have insurance. I heard the concussions symptoms show up immediately. I’m curious because my symptoms showed up later and they don’t exactly feel like they’re getting better.

Would love an opinion on this. Thank you.
