Hi,
Hitting of the head may lead to bleed into intracranial cavity or concussion. So it may cause aphasia and weakness of limbs.
Please get CT scan brain or MRI brain scan and then please consult your neuro physician/neurosurgeon, they will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
