And after googling head Injurys it just makes me scared and nervous as to what to do .. Should I go to the ER or sleep it off.. Please help ...

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. Based on the fact that you have headache, I suggest to go at the emergency room for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
