Neurologist,  's  Response
You may have suffered a traumatic tear in the brain/spinal cord lining allowing cerebrospinal fluid to escape. If you are still having headaches (especially when changing from lying to standing) which then, go ahead quickly if you were to lie down then, you need to see a doctor (preferably a neurologist). They will examine you and if necessary send you to get the leak patched. At the very least you will get a good examination for what also may be a mild concussion.
