Is Recurred Passing Out After Hit On Forehead Causing Blurriness And Bleeding Serious?

I hit my forehead HARD on sharp corner of bathroom counter and it knocked me out for maybe a minute. A small 1/2" cut was only visible and bleeding at the time. I felt dizzy and sight a little blurry. I tried to cover/clean so as to not scare my daughter. I went back and had been sitting on couch for a few minutes then I went to get back up a few minutes later from couch and I went unconscious again....this time for maybe more than 30 minutes.

My questions are: 1. Why did I pass out again?? 2. How quickly does it take for a large but not too protruding bump to occur? 3. I stopped the bleeding temporarily and quickly with peroxide and steptic stick but then next morning washed face again and it bled again a little. Is that normal?? 4. When will my headaches stop? It has been 6 days.

Thank you, Meg

Dear patient, you didn't mention your gender ,age , previous medical or drugs history .. but it looks that you need to attend Emergency room as soon as possible for different reasons :
your second unconscious ,persistent headache and dizzeness .in ED will do urgent CT Brain scan to be exclude brain haemorrhage. your wound seems need to stitched as next day bleed after washing it . The bump will subsided in few days if you put ice on it .
I hope you will be fine soon and all symptoms you mentioned due to simple concussion .
