Should I Be Worried Of Having Difficulty In Concentrating After Fainting And Hitting Head?

I fainted earlier which isn t uncommon for me but think I may have knocked my head on the way down. No bruise or anything but since then I have had a headache and feel a bit sick. Finding it hard to concentrate on the screen while writing this as eyes feel sore. Should I be worried?

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.

I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of headache following injury to the head.
You need to watch out symptoms indicating concussion head injury like loss of consciousness following injury, bleeding from ears, seizures, loss of memory, nausea, vomiting...
If any of the symptoms are present you need to consult your doctor for evaluation to rule out head injury. Otherwise no need to worry.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Wishing you a good health and speedy recovery.
