Hi. I would suggest you attend your nearest Emergency Department as a priority. The things that concern me are: persistent headache, nausea, drowsiness. You need to be assessed fully in order to determine whether you need to have a CT scan of your head to exclude a significant head injury - bruising or bleeding in the brain.
