Hello,
By history you have sustained an injury to the back and the head by falling on your back.
Headache indicates that there is some impact to the head.
Abdominal pain may due to spine injury or involvement of hollow organs of the abdomen.
Blood in the spit is a very serious concern.
It may be due to injury to the base of the skill.
Consult a neurosurgeon.
