Dear Concerned.,
Thanks for writing to us.
In all probabality, the head injury was inflicted upon you by an assault.
You are now experiencing the effects of Cerebral Concussion/??Skull Fracture(X-Ray of Skull required)/Amnesia(forgetting/spacing)/Vision worsening(Compression by a clot on optic nerve/chiasma(CT Scan required).
Kindly approach the ER and get yourself admitted for Neuro- observation first and get all the baseline investigations done.Advanced investigations such as X-Ray Skull/CT/MRI as decided by Neuro Surgeon , Consultant Ophthalmologist and Maxillo facial Surgeon.If an intracranial clot /hematoma is found the neurosurgeon will evacuate the same and decompress the brain.The treatment will be instituted as per the merit of the case.
As it is a case of an assault ,Medico legal formalities as per your country's laws also have to be done.
Pls rush to the ER at the earliest.
Best regards.,
