Does A Fall For A Baby Need Looking Into?

My 3 week old son rolled off my chest whilst i was sitting on my bed. He fell right down the gap between the bed and bedside table.i picked him up and he cried for a couple of minutes but settled quickly. There are no visible signs of injury and his pupils seem to be reacting to light. He wanted to be fed almost immediately after and has passed wind and im almost certain a bowel motion since this happened (about 50 minutes.ago)
