Have it checked out: If you have headache, nausea/vomiting, lethargy or if there was a loss of consciousness or any open lacerations you should definitely have it evaluated right away at an emergency room. If you were not wearing a helmet, that increases the risk of serious injury and is another factor that would suggest you see a doctor.
