Is There Something To Worry About Throbbing Pain On Skull?

I had an accident 2 weeks ago. A truck passed a red light and hit my car. I hit my had on the headrest and did not think it was a big deal. Now I have a dull, sometimes throbbing pain (not acute) on the right back of my skull. It is not constant but it worries me since doctors and surgeons told me to pay attention to any kind of pain since I am kind of resilient to pain.

Should I see a physician and which one... neurologist?

I am 78 y old.



Thank you for your answer.
