Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Any injury to the head must not be ignored, as in your case, you are having pressure symptoms, which I feel are significant, please see the doctor soon for an examination and some x rays as well. Do not wait

Wish you good health

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic!!!
It looks like you have had a serious head injury kindly do not delay and go to a nearby hospital and get a ct scan done. the headache and vomiting are due to increased intra cranial pressure.you will need immediate intervention depending on the scan results.
