Dear,

Thanks for the query.

You have provided inadequate information as to be able to comment. It is not clear when the injury was, any unconsciousness or vomiting episode after injury and what is blood pressure now.

Presuming there was no unconsciousness or vomiting, I advise you to see your GP (General Practioner) who will evaluate you including BP.

What probably you need is rest and symptomatic treatment with pain relievers.

Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have other concerns.

Regards
Pratap
