Hi,

Noted your history of multiple times hit on head while playing basketball, developed headache and sensitive eyes.
This is a cause of concern.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult immediately your Doctor or at ER as the facility be.
CT or MRI of the brain is a must as sub-arachnoid hemorrhage can cause similar symptoms.
Also needed is the coagulation profile.
Consult a Neurosurgeon if there is any positive finding to get further investigations and management.
Do not remain in house at all, insist for CT or MRI.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
