In case you notice any worsening symptoms, including loss of consciousness; blurred vision, or vomiting seek medical help immediately. Because you hurt the head, this could be a symptom of concussion and will need going to see doctor as soon. It is advisable that you visit a neurologist for additional assessment and treatment alternatives.
