Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You had blunt chest trauma with very heavy object.
Dents on skull are mostly due to healed fractures. You might be having skull bone fracture due to injury which is healed with time and produced these Dents. It is quite possible that you might be having brain injury also. This gives sensations of electric shocks and fishy smell.
So in my opinion, you should definitely consult neurologist and get done clinical examination and MRI of brain.

Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.
