Suggest Remedy For Pressure In Head After Head Injury

About 7-10 days ago I hit my head hard on a press. I didn t expect it to be there And was moving my head fast. Once I hit the press I was almost knocked out but recovered my balance. I didn t really have any other issues like memory loss or blurred speech or dizziness. The thing that concerns me is I ve had a couple of headaches since and sometimes at random I will feel pressure in that part of my head. I read it is possible for your brain to bleed after hitting your head hard and can even cause death. I didn t know if I was over reacting or not, I just wanted to be safe about it. The pressure usually isn t very much but sometimes it can hurt some and feels awkward. Is this normal or should I have it checked out? I don t want to go to the doctor unless I have to due to lack of insurance at this time. Thanks
