Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello dear friend,
First of all please be reassured and calm down yourself.Loss of consciousness(which is not there in your case)if resulting from a head trauma,is taken as a red flag and needs to be evaluated further with an imaging like computerised tomographic scan(CT scan) of brain to see for any brain damage and CT scan of skull bones to rule out a fracture.Headache and pressure you feel on your head is most probably benign.If I would have been your treating physician,I would have prescribed you mild analgesics for a few days and would have observed you over the time.To add to your reassurance a non contrast CT scan of head ,would have been adequate.You can visit some neurologist,who can perform physical examination on you and advise accordingly.I hope it helps.
