Welcome to HCM!
It would be intelligent to get the injury examined by a doctor, preffrably a neurologist. You may require a CAT Scan head/ MRI to rule out any soft tissue injury in brain.
You can take some pain killers along with antacid and antiemetic, like : Omeprazole with domperidone combination twice a day before meals.
Also, avoid any kind of sedatives or alcohol till you see a doctor ( these may harm you ) . I think you should also get your blood pressure checked.
Rest treatment can be given only after examining you.
please do see a doctor, it should not be anything very serious ( as you are able to carry on with your work normally / and there is no movement problem) but still there are symptoms plus a dent at that site behind needs early assessment.
Hope the reply is useful
