From your history since you said he was lifting you and had dropped it is always better to do a x ray spine and also chest x ray to rule out injury.If you had a ny vomiting or seizures or continous head ache then you will need a CT plain brain to rule out any internal clot.If you doont have any vomiting and you can talk normally then you can wait and watch...Good day
