What Are The Symptoms Of An Internal Head Injury?

Should I be very worried if I hit my head hard enough that I was stunned and had to sit down on the floor almost immediately? I m not exactly dizzy ,but areas of my head other than where it got hit, but on the same left side, feel affected. Also, a little bit ago I smelled blood in my left nostril, and earlier it was running.
